In partnership with Holy Culture Radio, the carefully curated playlist shines a spotlight on the future stars of Christian hip-hop and R&amp;B. 116 Summer Twenty-Five brings together a growing wave of faith-based artists and producers who deliver something entirely new and unprecedented. It also features some of the most sonically diverse tracks from newcomers like Meezo, Dell Mac, MelodicB, Y Shadey, and teenage rap sensation DC3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries<\/a><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries<\/a><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ahead of its release, Reach Records gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the \u2018making of\u2019 each song off this year\u2019s Playlist. Each episode of the four-part miniseries, \u201cMaking Summer \u201925,\u201d captures a snapshot of the artists at work, as they previewed tracks and discussed their creative process. The final episode of the YouTube series premiered earlier this week (Wednesday, July 9) and unveiled the official tracklist for the 116 Summer Twenty-Five playlist. This year, Reach Records CEO, Lecrae, and James \u2018Trig\u2019 Rosseau from Holy Culture Radio hand-picked which songs made the list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">116 Summer Twenty-Five, out now, fuels further anticipation for Lecrae\u2019s tenth studio album, Reconstruction, due this summer. Coinciding with the announcement of his new project, the 4X GRAMMY\u00ae Award winner joined forces with Jackie Hill Perry for the first time in nine years on their latest collaboration, \u201cTell No Lie\u201d \u2013 which samples the iconic \u201cAmores Como el Nuestro\u201d by Jerry Rivera (also known from Shakira\u2019s \u201cHips Don\u2019t Lie\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since its inception, Reach Records has long been a trailblazer in developing and amplifying diverse voices within Christian music. Now, the Summer \u201925 playlist underscores the label\u2019s commitment to introducing fresh sounds that push creative boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt Hip Hop Magizine News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9431463036\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reach Records returns with the seventh installment of their annual Summer Playlist.
