LECRAE’S “SAY I WON’T” FT. ANDY MINEO VIDEO TO PREMIERE AT BROOKLYN NETS GAME


Reach Records emcee, Lecrae, is gearing up to premiere the music video for his track titled “Say I Won’t,” at the Brooklyn Nets (versus Miami Heat) game on December 16. The song features his label-mate Andy Mineo, was produced by 808XEliTE, Gawvi, & Andy Mineo, and appears on Anomaly.
Also, Reach Records is putting on a “Say I Won’t” video contest for the fans. Those who enter the contest will make a 15 second video showing Reach that they’re not scared to be different, and they could win various prizes (including a paid trip to Brooklyn to watch the game with Crae and Mineo) [Details HERE]. A list of prizes is below.
On April 4 of 2014, Lecrae performed at an Atlanta Hawks game. The Reach Records co-founder’s relationship with NBA players and NBA teams is well-documented.
Do you think we are going to see more Reach Records performances and video premieres at NBA games in the future?
