Atlanta, GA (October 24, 2019)
If the Gospel Music Association (GMA) were to add a “Christian Hip-hop Label of the Year” category, Reach Records, the recording home of Lecrae, Andy Mineo, Gawvi, 1K Phew, KB, Tedashii, Trip Lee, Whatuprg and Wande, would be a top contender.

Lecrae , CEO and co-founder of Reach, made history in 2015 when he became the first hip-hop artist to win the coveted Dove Award for Artist of the Year at the 46th Annual Dove Awards. Since then, Reach artists have produced music that has earned them votes and nominations every year and 2019 is no exception!

At the 50th Annual GMA Dove Awards show in Nashville, on October 15th, Reach Records won two Dove Awards: Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year for Lecrae’s Let The Trap Say Amen collaborative studio album with Atlanta producer, Zaytoven, and Rap/Hip-Hop Recorded Song of the Year for GAWVI’s “Fight For Me” single featuring Lecrae.
