Hulvey x Forrest Frank’s “Altar” Is Certified Gold

“Altar,” the soulful collaboration between Hulvey and Forrest Frank, has been certified Gold by the RIAA, marking a major milestone for both the artist and his label, Reach Records. The certification, awarded in July 2025, signifies over 500,000 units sold and reflects the growing influence of faith-based music in today’s mainstream culture.

This achievement is more than just a personal win, it’s a momentous occasion for Reach Records, the pioneering label that signed Hulvey in 2019. Known for pushing boundaries and elevating Christian hip-hop into national consciousness, Reach Records has consistently developed genre-defining artists like Lecrae, Andy Mineo, and Trip Lee. With “Altar” going Gold, the label adds another historic moment to its legacy.

The timing couldn’t be better. In recent years, Christian and gospel-infused tracks have made significant inroads into the Billboard Hot 100, with artists like Forrest Frank, Caleb Gordon, and Hulvey himself seeing viral success across platforms like TikTok and Spotify. “Altar” reaching Gold further solidifies that Christian music is no longer on the sidelines, it’s in the conversation, on the charts, and in the headphones of a new generation.

This Gold certification proves what many have long believed: Christian hip-hop has the power to move culture and top charts—without compromising the message. For Hulvey, Reach Records, and the broader CHH community, this moment is a celebration of both faith and excellence. And it’s likely just the beginning.
