Losing Daylight by Brinson
Godchaserz Entertainment founder and CHH veteran himself, Brinson returns with his historic thirteenth album titled, Losing Daylight. The multi-faceted nine-track project marks as a follow-up to his 2023 album, Lord Prepare a Table as well as the collaboration project with Jared Allstar titled, Acknowledge Him (The New Bloodline). Brinson has been a mainstay in CHH for nearly 20 years remaining unapologetically unashamed with his presentation of theology, the Gospels, and keeping the word of God on his lips.
 
Inspired by John 9:4, this album is a call to action. "We must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work." We don’t know the time or hour of the Lord’s return, so we must use every moment to fulfill the Great Commission. Whether it’s through creative gifts like rap or by being a light in your workplace, this album challenges and inspires you to point others to the Cross while there’s still time,” states Brinson.
 
With powerful features from Oatmeal, ReadyWriter, Monster Tarver, Davina, Jarred Allstar, Tweli G, and Deondre David, Losing Daylight is a soundtrack for those working tirelessly for the Kingdom. Favorites include “I Was Finished” featuring Monster Tarver and Deondre David, “Turn It Around,” and “Truth and Life” featuring Tweli G. This album is experimental, confrontational, innovative, and unique to what Lord Prepare a Table contained serving as the first portion. Brinson opened up some new eyes and new neighborhoods of fanbases this time around. Stream Losing Daylight on Spotify here.

Reach Records celebrated their annual 116 Day (January 16) with the release of a new collective single. The track featured two founding members (Lecrae and Trip Lee), their two female artists (Wande and Jackie Hill Perry) and dynamic Christian-Latin artist Alexxander. The Latino community has always been dear to the hearts of everybody at Reach throughout their two decades of existence. Reach has become a global force in faith-based music, with Grammy Awards, platinum records, Unashamed Tours, and an unwavering mission: to change the way people see the world through faith, music, and culture; as penned by their media press release.
 
“King David” boasts hard-hitting 808s behind introspective verses reflecting on God’s power to conquer life’s greatest challenges. Tapping into the strength of God enables the least of us to conquer our inner “giants”. Mustard seed-like faith and perseverance like Moses possessed.
