Atlanta-based emcee Wande signs to Reach Records; single released

AMERICA'S leading Christian label Reach Records have signed the first female emcee, Wande, to their roster in their 15 year history. Said the rapper, "I've been doing everything independently and now I have people behind me, so it takes a lot of pressure off my back. Now things can be done on a bigger scale." The first single under the deal by the Atlanta-based rapper is "Blessed Up". She said, "The song is me pouring out my life and offering encouragement to listeners. I want to encourage in a low place where you feel broken and torn down, you can't stay there."
