ATLANTA, GA (Oct. 14, 2014)-Reach Records' dominated the 45th Annual GMA Dove Awards last Tuesday night at Lipscomb University. With multiple Dove wins, founder and Billboard's No. 1 selling artist in the country Lecrae serving as co-host with MercyMe's Bart Millard, and enthralling performances, it was a night to be remembered. The annual award ceremony aired on Sunday, Oct. 12 on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).

KB "100" was named "Rap/Hip Hop Song of the Year." The song with Mineo, was featured on the album of the same name and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Album's Chart and No. 4 on Billboard's Rap Chart and No. 22 on the overall Top 200 Albums Chart. The song was written by Kevin Burgess (KB), Andy Mineo, Lasanna Ace Harris, and Joseph Prielozny and produced by Lasanna Ace Harris with additional production from Joseph Prielozny. The song expresses KB's thoughts on what you do being not nearly as important as who you do it for.

Andy Mineo who was also nominated for "New Artist of the Year," and had two nods for "Rap/Hip Hop Song of the Year," nabbed the Dove Award for "Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year" with his EP, Never Land.
