(Nashville, TN) — April 25, 2025 — In a move that bridges the legacy of Motown with the future of music, TAMLA is proud to announce the signing of viral Hip Hop Christian music artist Dante Pride to an exclusive recording deal. The partnership marks a bold new chapter for both the iconic label and the multi-talented artist poised to redefine Christian Hip Hop.

Inspired by 1 Peter 3:15, Pride’s first offering via TAMLA, “Test Him Out” features Christian Hip- Hop/ Christian R&b artist Mike Teezy and serves as an anthem that challenges listeners to put their faith into action.

“To sign with TAMLA is more than a dream—it's a full-circle moment. God is Faithful! I’ve always looked up to the artists who paved the way through this label, and I’m honored to carry that torch forward in my own voice. I’ve got stories to tell, and now I’ve got the perfect home to tell them,” shares Dante Pride.

Pride hails from Decatur, Alabama with a calling to bridge the gap between culture and the Kingdom. Pride found success in 2024 with his viral hit, “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” was recently installed as the Youth Pastor at Change Church in Atlanta, GA. Utilizing his 300K+ followers across his socials, Dante uses his platform to spread the message of Christ to a global audience. Known for his electrifying stage presence and transformative performances, a Dante Pride concert isn’t just a show—it’s an experience. Attendees leave not only entertained but inspired, impacted, and changed.

“Dante Pride is a game-changer for this generation of music. His energy, lyricism, and authenticity make him a force in this space. We’re excited to partner with an artist who not only pushes the genre forward but also brings an innovative approach that will impact culture in a real way,” shares Walter Thomas, SVP of TAMLA and Motown Gospel.
