NRT Music is thrilled to announce the signing of Christian hip-hop artist Blake Whiteley, bringing his inspiring and faith-driven music to a broader audience. Kicking off this exciting new partnership, Blake is releasing his powerful new single, "BIG KING," out now.
"BIG KING" is an uplifting anthem that speaks to God's favor. It reminds listeners that faith and prayer bring real results. With energetic rhythms and dynamic lyricism, Blake delivers an inspiring message of divine blessing and purpose.
Blake Whiteley, a rising force in Christian hip-hop, first made waves with his 2017 album Break Thru, which debuted at #4 on the iTunes hip-hop chart and gained significant traction in the Christian music scene. It propelled him to be nominated for "Freshman of the Year" on the respected CHH site, RapZilla.com. His hit single "New Day" dominated the CHR Hot Chart for nearly four months and became the 18th most-played song of the year, earning recognition from Billboard as the most-added song on Christian radio. His music has reached audiences in over 90 countries, amassing over 2.2 million minutes of streaming in the past year alone.
Blake's journey to faith began after a successful start in the secular music industry, where he performed alongside major hip-hop artists. However, a life-changing encounter with Christ at an after-party for rapper Wiz Khalifa led him to dedicate his talents to spreading the Gospel. Since then, his mission has been clear: to create impactful music that glorifies God and inspires listeners worldwide.
With "BIG KING" leading the way, 2025 promises to be a growing year for Blake Whiteley and NRT Music. Fans can expect more music, powerful lyrics, and a bold declaration of faith.
