About this artist

An MC who entered the Top Ten of Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart with his debut, Uncle Reece was born Maurice Hicks, Jr. in Savannah, Georgia. His dad’s job in the military meant a move to Jacksonville, Florida, and after Reece graduated from Florida State University with an associate degree in mathematics, he was off to spread the Gospel via hip-hop. His “Until I Pass” single landed in 2012, then “I Can’t Help Myself” followed in 2013. The success of both tracks propelled his 2014 album Bold, released by Obed Music, up to number nine on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart. ~ David Jeffries
