Breakout urban inspirational star, Pastor Mike Jr. (PMJ),
who is known for hits including “Big” and “I Got It” (currently in Top
20 on R&B charts), has just released his sophomore album, I Got It: Singles Ministry which takes a direct look at relationship issues that both churchgoers
and non-churchgoers alike can all identify with. “I wanted to take a
risk with this album…” he says. “There’s a demographic in all of our
ministries that goes undervalued and overlooked, and that’s singles.
With everybody pursuing ‘relationship goals’ and everybody pursuing the
altar, there’s an unsaid narrative that’s being created that ‘to be
single is to be a failure…’” He continues, “So I wanted to create some
inspirational music that spoke to this demographic letting them know
that ‘you’re not alone’ and ‘you can be single and embracing your single
season.’” This urban inspirational trap music stands in a category of
it’s own and is sure to receive a wide array of critical acclaim.
PMJ was named “New Artist of the Year” in the 2020 Stellar Awards and was
named “Artist of the Year” at the 2021 Stellar Awards that aired on BET,
and is on the fast track to global visibility. PMJ currently is the
winner of 5 total Stellar Awards and is nominated for “Contemporary
gospel recorded song of the year” at the 2021 GMA Dove Awards. Aside
from the awards, his single “Big” hit over 10 million streams in
February 2021 and spent 10 weeks at #1 on Billboard Gospel Airplay. His
current leading single, “I Got It” hit #1 on Billboard Gospel Airplay
Charts in March 2020 and is currently #18 on Billboard R&B Airplay.
Aside from the long standing successes of “Big” and “I Got It”, PMJ
released a gospel cover of the Gnarles Barkley hit, “Crazy”, and
recreated it as “Amazing” to speak of the “amazing” power of God. He
performed it at the Stellar Awards ceremony and released it separately
as a single on August 3, 2021 and was Top 3 in sales this week —amazing!
I Got It: Singles Ministry, “Amazing”, “Big”, and “I Got It” are all currently available on all streaming platforms.
