GRAMMY award-winning music collective Maverick City Music and 16-time GRAMMY winner Kirk Franklin will bring the injustices around mass incarceration – and the voices of 1,300 inmates – to center stage with the release of their collaborative album KINGDOM Book 1, out June 17th via Tribl Records / Fo Yo Soul Entertainment / RCA Inspiration. Today (June 3), “Bless Me” is available now ahead of the full project.

Maverick City Music’s newest single “Bless Me” is an infectious celebration of the bounties of life as they already are—taking the time to recognize the blessings already bestowed upon you rather than those you lack. As countless unyielding voices refrain, in stacks of traditional gospel harmonies, “we’ve got everything we need.”

Drum lines, snare rolls, and energetic horns call to mind the image of a football field or a pep rally, drawing a connection between these two spaces of celebration and powerful community. Rapid-fire hi-hat rolls and 808s frame the song with an unmistakably modern punch. More than anything, “Bless Me” evokes the electric, invincible feeling of being surrounded by your people and strengthened by their love.

“Kingdom,” the first song from the Maverick City Music x Kirk Franklin collab stayed atop the iTunes video chart (all genre) for almost two weeks. The album ‘Kingdom Book 1’ — a collaboration with Maverick City Music x Kirk Franklin brings the topic of mass incarceration into the forefront — and it’s out Fri. June 17th, the 7th anniversary of the shooting at the Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC (a native town of two Mav City members). The collective recorded the album with more than 1300 inmates at the Everglades Correctional Facility in Florida.

Nigeria gospel singer Lilian Nneji has just released a new single titled “E Get Why“.

Speaking on this song, Lilian Nneji says, this song illustrates those things God does for us out of his love and care which we ordinarily do not merit. It is a song of Thanksgiving to God for the amazing and uncountable blessings he has daily deposited on us his children. Which of his blessings can we really count? None! His marvelous works upon the earth cannot be quantified.

We need to be extremely thankful to God because if not for his goodness over our lives many would have mocked us in one way or the other but his blessings and favour has been our shield all the way.

God loves us so much and it is expedient that we love him right back just as he has loved us. Oh give thanks to the Lord for he is good and his mercies endureth forever. Psalms 136:1

Let us praise His name together
Magnify the Lord with me,

He took me out of the miry clay
Set my feet on rock to stay…. (2x)

Magnify the Lord with me,
Let us praise His name together,
Magnify the Lord with me,praise His name lift Him on high.

Lift up your voice and praise the Lord (3x).
Praise the Lord for He is good
Oh clap your hands and praise the Lord (3x)
Praise the Lord for He is good
Sing hallelujah lets praise the Lord (3x)
Praise the Lord,for He is good

He healed my body
( yeah praise the Lord)
Transformed my mind
(yeah praise the Lord)
Delivered me
(yeah praise the Lord)
Gave me a testimony
(yeah praise the Lord)

Magnify the Lord with me,let us praise His name together,Magnify the Lord with me
Praise His name lift Him on high.

Praise His name lift him on high
Praise His name lift him on high
