Kirk Franklin premieres NEW SINGLE w/ GloRilla + talks Usher backlash, Uptown Records deal & gospel-rap origins

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by 20-time Grammy-winning gospel icon Kirk Franklin, who premieres his brand-new single "This Time" featuring GloRilla. The trio dives deep into Kirk's legendary 30-plus year career, exploring his tough upbringing in Fort Worth, Texas, and how he revolutionized the genre by infusing his early love for hip-hop acts like the Geto Boys and Scarface into church music. Kirk opens up about the backlash he faces from some religious circles for praying with secular artists like Usher and Chris Brown backstage, and breaks down the importance of showing love without judgment. Also: Joe’s humbling experience getting bumped to a coach flight, the ultimate gospel cheat code for surviving Amateur Night at the Apollo, and Kirk's hilarious endorsements for RewindIt10 and Kiss Cafê.
