Reach Records Releases 116 Summer Twenty-Five Playlist: Listen Here!
After a one-year hiatus, Reach Records is back with a bang, dropping the highly anticipated seventh installment of their celebrated summer playlist series, 116 Summer Twenty-Five. This energetic 12-track collection is more than a seasonal release; it’s a sonic statement of faith, creativity, and the ever-evolving sound of Christian hip-hop and R&B.
Featuring heavyweight label artists Lecrae, Trip Lee, 1K Phew, Limoblaze, BEAM, Alexxander, Lee Vasi, Big Breeze, and a slate of emerging talents, the project sets a new standard for faith-inspired summer music. With Holy Culture Radio as a strategic partner, this year’s drop captures the spirit of summer while pushing the boundaries of genre and gospel expression.
A Curated Soundtrack of Faith, Energy, and Innovation
Hand-selected by Reach Records CEO Lecrae and James “Trig” Rosseau of Holy Culture Radio, 116 Summer Twenty-Five isn’t just a collection—it’s a creative movement. The playlist features genre-defying tracks that reflect the voices of a new generation of artists and producers shaping the future of Christian music.
From the high-octane delivery of rising teen sensation DC3, to the melodic freshness of newcomers like Meezo, Dell Mac, MelodicB, and Y Shadey, the album introduces new perspectives and sounds, all rooted in faith, and purpose.
Behind the Beats: Making Summer ‘25 Docuseries
To build excitement and give fans an inside look at the creative process, Reach Records launched a four-part YouTube miniseries titled “Making Summer ‘25.” Each episode takes viewers behind the scenes; capturing studio sessions, songwriting moments, and exclusive interviews with the artists.
The final episode, which dropped on Thursday, July 10, revealed the full official track-list and set the stage for what many are calling the strongest installment in the series to date.
A Prelude to Lecrae’s “Reconstruction” Album
As if the summer playlist wasn’t enough, 116 Summer Twenty-Five also serves as a musical appetizer for Lecrae’s upcoming tenth studio album, “Reconstruction,” slated to release later this summer.
Their song, “Tell No Lie,” is a bold, truth-packed anthem that creatively flips the iconic Jerry Rivera sample, famous from Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie,” into a message of spiritual clarity and resistance to deception.
Continuing the Legacy of Gospel Innovation
Since its founding, Reach Records has remained at the forefront of gospel music innovation, committed to amplifying voices that blend faith, authenticity, and artistic excellence. With 116 Summer Twenty-Five, the label reaffirms that commitment, spotlighting rising stars while continuing to evolve its own legacy.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the 116 movement, this playlist is a must-listen for anyone passionate about faith-based music with modern edge.
