No Greater Love was released last July, however, the performers – Rudy Currence and Chrisette Michele – have only just shared the official video.

When it first came out the R&B-gospel song received great reviews, plays and features so persons within the community assumed that the visuals would be forthcoming.

Nonetheless, for whatever reason the team at Mike Chek Entertainment, which is the label behind the record, decided against dropping the video at that time. Instead it was uploaded to Rudy Currence‘s YouTube channel at the end of March, 2022.

Wande, Reach Records’ first female, has just dropped a new single titled They Didn’t Know II. The hip-hop track is a follow up to her 2016 song with the same name.

The initial record describes the reaction of others when they see someone transition from a secular life to one centered in Christianity. The just released song is an expansion of that mindset. Click here to stream & download They Didn’t Know II from your preferred music platform.

Omolola Owoeye, better known as Loolla – a Nigerian Gospel and Christian contemporary songwriter and recording artist – has just shared a new single titled Messiah.

On the worship song, which is being described as simple, intuitive and powerful, Loolla makes it clear that Jesus Christ is her redeemer and coming King.

Messiah is produced by Bode Afolabi. Stream and download it here.
