History
editThe God's House of Hip Hop 20/20 Summer Fest concept was pioneered by executive entrepreneur N.I.C.E. and broker Chantal S. Grayson. N.I.C.E. was a huge success in the Christian Hip Hop space and achieved five #1 Billboard chart-topping records including a #100 Gospel Album.[4] N.I.C.E. and Grayson started the station “God’s House of Hip Hop Radio,” also referred to as GH3 Radio, to give CHH and faith-based hip hop artists a radio platform to reach an audience of over 10 million listeners.[5]
After reaching the milestone of 10 million listeners, GH3 copied other American radio stations and promoted its concert series and music festival. In 2019 God's House of Hip Hop became the first hip hop station in the history of the Stellar Awards to be honored as “Gospel Hip Hop Station of the Year”.[6][7]
