Together, the gospel stars assembled on the 28-track Gotta Have Gospel! 6 have collected scores of RIAA-certified gold and platinum albums, sold a combined 20 million-plus career units, topped Billboard’s gospel airplay and sales tallies countless times, and garnered a myriad of GRAMMY®, Stellar, GMA Dove, and Soul Train awards.

The star-studded track listing includes selections by the likes of Kirk Franklin (“Hide Me”), Marvin Sapp (“Praise Him in Advance”), Mary Mary (“Yesterday”), Israel & New Breed (“If Not For Your Grace”), Tye Tribbett & G.A. (“Good in the Hood”), and Dorinda Clark-Cole (“Take It Back”), spanning contemporary gospel, urban gospel, praise & worship, choral, quartet, and everything in between. *(Track listing below)

With a tradition of showcasing some of the most explosive new talent in gospel, Gotta Have Gospel! 6 will include showstopping performances from Stellar Award winners Jonathan Nelson (“My Name Is Victory”) and DeWayne Woods (“God Is”), Resurrection Life worship leader Ken Reynolds (“Great Things”), and Sound of the New Breed (“Jesus Is”), a side project from members of Israel & New Breed.

Over the weekend, fans got a live taste of some of the talent on display on Gotta Have Gospel! 6 at Rejoice 880’s “Gotta Have Gospel! Jam,” where preorders for the compilation were taken as audiences enjoyed a multi-bill concert experience featuring Mary Mary, Tye Tribbett & G.A., Alvin Slaughter, Stephen Hurd, and Jonathan Nelson.
