, August 7, 2008. Retrieved December 30, 2010. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile."

History

The group debuted with ''The Compilation Album'' in 2005. DJ Primo remixed the original recordings the following year with ''The Compilation Album: Chopped and Screwed''. The remix album included four bonus tracks. In 2007 they released '' 13 Letters'', the album name representing the 13 letters Paul wrote to first-century Christians. In 2011 they released the ''Man Up'' compilation album. ''Man Up'' was intended for release on July 23, 2011. However, the official release date was pushed back to September 27, 2011. A corresponding film, directed by former member Sho Baraka, was made to show the importance of a godly man. The Man Up Movie & Concert Series tour took place in selected cities where fans could see a screening of ''Man Up'' followed by a concert with songs from the soundtrack. They released a single, "Come Alive", based on their 2012 Unashamed Tour. in 2013, the clique released "Now They Know", based on the Unashamed Tour V. On November 23, 2018, a digital Christmas album was released, entitled ''The Gift: A Christmas Compilation'', and made available through most major streaming services. A playlist of some 14 songs, entitled "Summer 19" was released on July 19, 2019 by Reach under the auspices of the group. On October 23, 2020, 116 released '' Sin Vergüenza'', a collaboration between Reach and No Apologies Music which features a combination of American hip hop and Latin urbano artists. All two dozen tracks were released as singles.
