To commemorate the signing of EmanuelDaProphet as the first artist on the new Tamla Records (via Capitol Christian Music Group)—in partnership with Encouragement Music/Quality Control—this handsome group of industry professionals assembled for a devoutly upbeat photo op. They collectively gave hearty thanks for the resurrection of the storied Tamla label, as well as for the Michigan-bred rapper’s new singles, “Holy Steppin” and “Ghetto Gospel” f/Rich The Kid. And, upon realizing the pic would run on our site, they prayed for strength. Emanuel is currently working on his debut album, which will also feature such guests as Lil Yachty, Quavo and Rylo Rodriguez. Seen are (l-r) Quality Control co-founders Pierre “P” Thomas and Kevin “Coach K” Lee, SVP Marketing for CCMG & Executive Director of Tamla Records EJ Gaines, Encouragement Music founder/producer Thomas “Tillie” Mann, EmanuelDaProphet, Chair & CEO of Capitol Music Group Michelle Jubelirer and SVP CCMG Phil Thornton.
