Tragic Hero Returns With “Stretch Marks” Single, Announces Music Video and First Full-Length Album in 10 Years

Greenville, PA – August 13, 2025 – Grammy Award–winning Christian Hip Hop artist Tragic Hero has released his latest single Stretch Marks, featuring Taelor Gray and produced by Wes Pendleton. The official music video is set to debut August 19th, giving fans a powerful visual to match the song’s message. On Stretch Marks, Tragic and Taelor Gray trade introspective verses that reflect the weight of modern American life. Tension, truth, and melody meet in a hook you’ll be humming long after the song ends. This release also signals a milestone moment — Tragic Hero is preparing to drop his first full-length album in a decade, fully produced by Wes Pendleton. The project carries special significance, as Pendleton also produced Tragic Hero’s first-ever album, The Resistance, in 2013, making this a deeply personal full-circle moment.

After a four-year hiatus starting in 2020, Tragic Hero returned in 2024 with four singles — Healing Service, Far From Over, Buzzkill, and Hevel — that reignited his momentum and led to standout features on Mykael V and 1995’s highly successful Bodega 2 and 350 & Mykael V’s Somewhere Along The Way. During his time away from music, he deepened his faith, relocated to western Pennsylvania, got married, became a father of two, and took a leap of faith into entrepreneurship by starting his own business. These life changes have reshaped his perspective, bringing new depth, maturity, and authenticity to his artistry.

With Stretch Marks as the opening chapter, Tragic Hero is building toward an album that blends sharp lyricism with lived experience, reconnecting with the producer who helped shape his earliest sound and career foundation. Fans can stay connected for updates on the upcoming music video, album release details, and behind-the-scenes content via his social media platforms and website.
