With a tradition of showcasing some of the most explosive new talent in gospel, Gotta Have Gospel! 6 will include show-stopping 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.

The two-disc collection will be bundled with an 9-song bonus DVD featuring music videos and live performances, including the moving concept clip for “Never Would've Made It,” the chart-topping crossover smash by Marvin Sapp. Other videos include Fred Hammond's “This Is the Day,” Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir's “Worthy Is the Lamb,” and “Love Him Like I Do”, the recent hit by Ruben Studdard, Mary Mary, and Deitrick Haddon, plus much more.

“ Gotta Have Gospel! continues to live up to its name, offering the best songs from our favorite artists, making it a must-have for every gospel music lover,” adds Jackie Patillo, vice president of A&R and artist development for Zomba Gospel. “Both the CD and the DVD make for an awesome gospel music experience.”
