(Birmingham, Alabama) This year has been nothing short of phenomenally BIG for Blacksmoke Music Worldwide artist Mike McClure, Jr. known professionally as Pastor Mike, Jr. His breakout single, Big. from his Billboard chart topping CD Live Free made its way to the top of the radio chart and maintained the top spot for more than 9 weeks. On Gospel’s biggest night, Pastor Mike, Jr. took home coveted Stellar Award statues for Best New Artist of the Year and Best Hip Hop/Rap Album of the Year.
“There was rejoicing in my home and probably all over the city of Birmingham”, states the singer/songwriter and pastor of Birmingham based Rock City Church, one of the fastest growing congregations in the nation. “I owe a debt of gratitude to God first and foremost, to Kerry Douglas and the team at Blacksmoke for all of their efforts, to my staff, my wife and kids, my church family and everyone whose lives have been touched by the message that God gave me. This has exceeded my expectations and I’m excited about what else God has in store.”
Blacksmoke Music Worldwide CEO Kerry Douglas offered these remarks, “Pastor Mike, Jr., what can be said that does him justice? He truly has a special anointing to speak life and hope to our generation.
