The timing of it couldn't have been more perfect. Andy Mineo's success (especially "Coming In Hot") has now established him in a way in which he can now graduate from Reach Records and still maintain success. Meanwhile, Reach now has such an extensive lineup an artists to focus on, that Andy's departure doesn't crush them. With KB and now Andy, Reach is setting a great blueprint of establishing artists then releasing them to continue to do great things.
I'm excited to see the future of Andy's career and the direction Miner League goes! The youngins of Reach over a decade ago (KB & Andy) have now graduated and are branching off. It's dope to see him go this new route. I'm intrigued if he's going full indie or if he's gonna partner w/ a major for distro (as mentioned in his latest freestyle). Also, interested if he's gonna have a roster on Miner League and put his label head hat back on. Lots of questions, so looking forward to seeing how things pan out! As a sidenote, I think Reach's next play is getting into the R&B space. There's been hints of an R&B playlist and possibly an R&B artist signee, so def excited to see what Reach's roster and releases look like within the next six months - year.
I’m actually surprised it didn’t happen sooner! After Derek it seemed Reach was doing what CM did with Lecrae. So when Andy introduced Minor League I figured he would be leaving Reach shortly. Interested in seeing what he does next!
This was a wise, calculated move for Andy, and it's been a long time coming like Wade-O said. Didn’t Andy say back on MPJ Freestyle he might go independent like Dyl? This next era for him will be brilliant. It'll be a brilliant era for Reach too. If Reach Records were a university, Lecrae, Tedashii, and Trip would be the trustees/ administrators. Sho Baraka, Derek Minor, and KB are the celebrity alumni who return on big game days, and Andy just announced he's moving on to the [Miner] league and joining their ranks. 1K Phew, RG, Anike, Hulvey, Limoblaze, and now Jackie are the movers and shakers on campus. Everyone is evolving.
God Bless you Dj Wade O 🙏 its Awesome that you back online 👍 I praying that I can interview you some time for the Gospel radio show I do out here in the Philippines 🙏
Andy's been gone for a very long time and I think Reach already knew he wasn't coming back but they gave him the respect to be the one to announce it. Reach will always be Reach. I believe, just like KB, Andy will definitely find his clan and succeed outside Reach.
this is good for CHH because we cant always depend on Reach to carry the Load all the time i been saying this for years I'm actually not surprised that Andy is leaving he did alot for Reach Records Minor League always been his thang to do just by listening to his songs.
Wow! I wish Andy all the best. He has established himself as a bona fide artist. I know he's going to do amazing things for all the artists, under his label. Grace be with him.
It always feels like a break up when artists make changes like this, so fans like me catch feelings 😂. I can’t believe how far Andy came from “Formerly Known. I wish him and Reach the best and I’m so happy to get new music from “Andy.”
Man, I still remember when Lecrae and Andy came out with Background and Andy was still C-Lite. That song led me eventually to listening to Formerly Known and hearing that he signed to Reach in Pressure. Sad to see this, but not surprised given Andy's success. God bless, Andy
I love how reach is a fam! I’m sure there’s stuff behind the scenes but as far as we know, Derek left in good terms, KB left in good terms, Andy leaving in good terms. And not only are they leaving, they are starting up their own labels! LOVE IT!!
It does feel like the end of an era, but I wish Andy all the best. I'm very curious about Jackie Hill Perry's new music after hearing that first single from her on Reach's label
I think this could be a good marriage honestly. She is going to put substance and lyricism in her music. It’ll prob be more commercially accessible. Kind like Kendrick Lamar or J cole
Limoblaze (23 Aug), Anike (30 Aug), and Hulvey (13 Sept) all recently dropped within a short time period... Crae said he has some stuff on the way soon. There was no summer playlist this year. Reckon we'll get something from each Reach artist before end of year? :)
Still waiting for Reach and Andy to officially say he’s done with his obligations and contract. But then again could we say that this could be another collaboration between the 2 labels like Derek Minor did with RMG and Reach for a little bit?
I don't like the word "Leave" or "Left" I know it's the traditional word to use but, I don't think it fits. In KB's or Andy's situations... Ideally, their contractual obligations were up and they got promoted from "ARTIST" to "BOSS" ...glad it wasn't know drama. Wishin' Andy and His wife the best!!! #My2Centz
Reach took a hit losing Andy, he was a monster there. But Reach was doing well prior to signing him. Now with a new collective, and recently signing Jackie Hill, which was a major shock to me, they’ll be alright. And Andy who has a crazy creative mind, I believe will FLOURISH independently.
I still think a public statement should be released man. Because it’s leaves the public in some sort of a grey area. KB and Aha made it clear by announcing they left, what stopping Andy or Reach to do the same? I went on the UA-cam cover page and Andy is still on there so when is an official announcement going to be made? It’s like you break up with a girl but you ain’t really saying that we breaking up.
Wade O who you with bro 😎 honestly been a long time fan but this ain’t it Shai called it on Still Jesus yet all of you still back up these men now that’s Crazy #StillJesus
@@wadeoradio I understand what you’re saying 100 percent Wade O I respect your opinion always liked that you would never be bias and would tell it like it is but why in this moment does my comment cause such a huge reaction from you? Do you know they personally like do you guys go to the same church and serve under the same leadership? Do you know Andy and Lecrae personally do you love them enough to keep them accountable? Cause according to the Word of God we must not associate with those in darkness rather expose them Ephesians 5:8-14,,Did Lecrae say he was at the diddy parties? Did he say he went back to a few parties? Why are we throwing it under the rug if he himself said it before the whole indictment with diddy..Let’s be real everyone wants to talk about td Jake’s being there but Lecrae also was there so I want to know why a man of God would return knowing the things that occur there because come to find out everyone Knew diddy was weird but everyone was to scared to say anything or am I wrong?
@@Azariah.928 I know them. Don't hang with them regularly. Have held them acocuntable about different things at different points and they have done the same for me. Lecrae and I talked about it a bit here: ua-cam.com/video/Ny7VzJVMGCs/v-deo.html
@@wadeoradio alright so with that being Lecrae need to stay accountable to his leadership and his pastors his shepherds he don’t need to be going on YT spewing nonsense and not taking accountability for it what kind of man you following my brother cause I follow Christ… “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?” Luke 16:10-12 Stop Swaying the question they say you the Christian Sway that’s definitely true cause Sway always be dogging questions instead of giving me a video talk to me right now,,Did Lecrae say he went to the diddy parties??? yes or no??
You can bet hulvey is the new reach record ceo can't have mineo hanging around especially when his mind is not in the game. Real estate is his only passion.
Ok that’s not weird first Lecrae mentions being at multiple diddy parties after being exposed then now he’s trying to back track why first of all if he knew things got ‘intense’ would Lecrae go back Multiple times?? Second p diddy goes down then all of a sudden Mineo decides to leave reach not after Lecrae dents being Christian not after the righteous and ratchet jacket turmoil not after Lecrae says the most ridiculous and unbiblical things Noooo it’s not till the diddy thing,,,this my friend is going to show what Reach really been doing behind the scenes and Why they were at diddy parities in the first place…just saying tho😞praying Lecrae stop fronting and admit what we all know from what’s been coming out the dude seems to like Attention even if it’s negative…praying truly for every soul in Reach that they realize that Lecrae is not a a man they should follow
For anyone considering this, please may I remind you to research that Andy placed it in his recent music that he was thinking about going Indie after the contract was over
ahahaha a Reach no pun intended!!Lol to each his own brotha we’re all grown here and we all got a freedom of speech I choose to call it the way I sees it so if I’m wrong my bad🙏💯
@@rogdanago5894lol 😅ahahah funny how fast people got on me it’s just an opinion if it ain’t true then let it play out God ain’t playing that half way in half way out stuff anymore Christ coming back we all Need to Repent now that’s Facts!💯

Well said my G
I don't know about that. Andy has not released a new song in 2 years.
I remember Andy's CLite era. So totally agree with him always really wanting to be indy.
He did say this in Never Land II I believe: “might go independent and do it like Dyl”
Not surprising but definitely a bitter-sweet end of an era
The sway in the morning of chh
😎🙏🏾✊🏾
Way thinking the same thing as he came on
Indeed! ❤

Great thoughts. I agree on the R&B. That’s fertile soil business wise.
Tedashii's new Christmas project is super 🔥🔥 and seems a step toward him doing RnB
I know that they met with homegirl Ssteddi last year 🔥
Sondae would be the best person they could sign IMO. Or Jay Manwell.
GREAT to have you back! Always glad when you release something!
More to come!

This is huge!!! Been a fan since C-Lite days! Just like when Sho left and KB all good things come to an end for better! Here for the new music!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Missed you brother! Great to see you back in your truest form!
@@allofshope My brother. Hope all is well your way man. Miss you too fam
Love Andy’s heart/art, story, and how creative he always is!
Right?!
Wow! I wish Andy all the best. He has established himself as a bona fide artist. I know he's going to do amazing things for all the artists, under his label. Grace be with him.
Thanks for the update 🔥🚀
No problem 👍🏾
He was one of my
Favorite artist on reach definitely a sad moment to see but he’s on to the next chapter he’s going to do great
I’m loving the roll out. Definitely has my attention. Ready for the project
Just love Andy Mineo .... I believe this is a growth step
It always feels like a break up when artists make changes like this, so fans like me catch feelings 😂. I can’t believe how far Andy came from “Formerly Known. I wish him and Reach the best and I’m so happy to get new music from “Andy.”
I feel this bro. Change in this case is good though
I’m so glad you’re “back” Wade! Shout from Nigeria
💪🏾💯🙏🏾
Great episode!
It's about time. He has made enough bread and notoriety. Time to make his own money
Man, I still remember when Lecrae and Andy came out with Background and Andy was still C-Lite. That song led me eventually to listening to Formerly Known and hearing that he signed to Reach in Pressure. Sad to see this, but not surprised given Andy's success. God bless, Andy
Loving this content Wade-O!
Preciate you bro.
I think Andy will definitely align a new generation of Christian Artists!
I'm so glad to see you coming back to chh community
💪🏾🙏🏾💯
I love how reach is a fam! I’m sure there’s stuff behind the scenes but as far as we know, Derek left in good terms, KB left in good terms, Andy leaving in good terms.
And not only are they leaving, they are starting up their own labels!
LOVE IT!!
Provide a platform then send them out!
He's a real artist with real life and lyrics!
😮😮😮
Hope this leads to the last two elements EP’s!
Wade i would love to see crae & dee 1 on here so that they can hash things out! Especially after they both got honorable mentions from Kendrick
🤔🤔🤔
Lecrae recently said that they already made peace
We need a "Work Pt.2" haha. I loved "Work" when it came out
I mean, we knew this was coming eventually once Miner League was introduced years ago..
Facts
Yassss!!! Core 4 era!!!
Aaaayyyeeee give ‘‘em that history lesson
I been rocking with andy since the sin is wack days! C-Lite! Excited for new music 🔥
I don't mess with Andy anymore.
I completely agree with you, the growth will benefit the body of Christ and truly it's more Reach
Amen
I really came here looking for Andys words lol. But I agree with all that was said. Andy has always carved his own lane.
I missed that news. I didn't know he left. But to be honest I expected this years ago.
Hope we get that Magic & Bird vol 3 !!!!
I actually saw this coming
what’s odd is that reach hasn’t said anything about it. when kb left they made an announcement. and he’s till listed as an artist on their socials
It does feel like the end of an era, but I wish Andy all the best. I'm very curious about Jackie Hill Perry's new music after hearing that first single from her on Reach's label
Jackie is too good as a lyricist for the production choices that Reach uses.
You and me both!
I think this could be a good marriage honestly. She is going to put substance and lyricism in her music. It’ll prob be more commercially accessible. Kind like Kendrick Lamar or J cole
Knew Andy when he was C-lite... It's about time
Congrats to Andy . But much love to reach Lecrea helped a lot of artist in CHH. I will say this the artist that left haven't always done better. 🤔💯
it makes so much senz
Limoblaze (23 Aug), Anike (30 Aug), and Hulvey (13 Sept) all recently dropped within a short time period... Crae said he has some stuff on the way soon. There was no summer playlist this year. Reckon we'll get something from each Reach artist before end of year? :)
He’s still with Reach Records…they added Jackie Perry to their bio on Twitter
their website isn’t updated either. Confirmed with him via text message though.
If he’s left, Reach hasn’t updated their socials yet as of this video
Website either
I think my ultimate question will Miner League be a clean label. Or is Andy going to push the limits of what a clean record label or chh can be.
yooooo

4:48 I didn’t know KB left I been out the loop
I thought he was already independent after Neverland 2
deals are not meant to last a lifetime. he maximized that deal to the fullest and so did reach records. 🤝 and move on
