Congratulations to Tedashii and celebrated Pop CCM artist, Jordan Feliz, for reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Hot AC/CHR chart with their collaborative single, “Gotta Live,” after only 10 weeks of airplay!
“Life is a gift from God that most never fully open,”Tedashii explains. He wrote the song “to encourage everyone to go beyond the surface. To experience the gift of an abundant life you ‘Gotta Live.’”
Lauded CHH heavyweight,Tedashii, and celebrated Pop CCM artist, Jordan Feliz, join forces for their latest single, “Gotta Live.” Available today (May 23) for purchase and streaming across all DSPs via Reach Records, “Gotta Live” is also set to impact CHR Radio on June 8.“Gotta Live” follows the release of Tedashii’s “Smile,” making it the latest track to fall under the new ethos he has adopted in 2018, Never Fold. Inspired by Luke 9:62 which states, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and turns back is fit for the kingdom of God,” Never Fold is a construct upon which believers everywhere can build their lives. Tedashii, who understands pain firsthand, goes on to say “For me, Never Fold is about celebrating life in the midst of adversity. It’s a reminder to not succumb to the pressures of life when in the end, it’s what makes diamonds of us all.”
“I’m Good” Climbs Christian Hot AC/CHR Radio Chart
Thoughtful lyricist and hip hop recording artist, Tedashii, returns today with the release of a new music video for “I’m Good,” a song found on his latest 7-track EP This Time Around. “I’m Good” is enjoying early success at radio, currently No. 21 and climbing on the Christian Hot AC/CHR radio chart with over 340 spins to date in top markets including Tampa, Virginia Beach, Oklahoma City, Des Moines, and Springfield, MO.
“I’m Good” is a creative departure sonically for Tedashii who sings over an up-tempo guitar rhythm with newfound optimism. Shot at La Jolla Beach, Ocean Beach Pier and Sunset Cliffs in sunny San Diego, with brilliant driving scenes through Coronada, the video perfectly captures the essence of this vibey end-of-summer groove.
This Time Around follows the release of Below Paradise, the rapper’s fourth LP and a very personal account of the sometimes-harsh realities of this world, both the joy and the sorrow. Below Paradise debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard 200, and No. 1 and No.2 on the Top Gospel Albums and Rap Albums charts, respectively.
Tedashii is currently touring in support of This Time Around appearing as main support for Crowder’s American Prodigal Tour and on Winter Jam 2016 Tour Spectacular.
