The Atlanta-based Christian hip-hop artist has officially received his first Gold record for the song “Altar,” featuring Forrest Frank, while also announcing that his next album will be his final release with Reach Records. Together, these moments highlight the impact of his music so far and set the stage for what’s coming next.
“Altar” Goes Gold and Hits Home
“Altar” has become one of Hulvey’s most powerful and beloved songs. With its heartfelt message, worshipful tone, and honest delivery, the track resonated deeply with listeners across generations. That connection has since become a major career achievement, as the song has earned RIAA Gold certification, surpassing 500,000 units in combined sales and streams.
Beyond the numbers, listeners' responses tell the real story. Fans flooded social media with testimonies about how the song has impacted their lives. One Facebook user shared a moving moment from a Hulvey and Lecrae concert in Portland:
“I took my son to your show… I looked at my boy in the middle of Altar (he was 12 at the time) and he had tears rolling down his cheeks… ‘These are happy tears dad, I feel the Holy Spirit.’ Praise God for using you to reach out and shine on my boy.”
Another simply celebrated the milestone, writing: “Woohoo this is amazing! Congratulations Hulvey on the gold record! Love Altar a lot.”
On Instagram, the praise continued. One fan shared how the song moved beyond personal listening and into community spaces:
“Played this song for everybody at my Men’s Bible Study group tonight. They wanted to hear something new and this was the first thing that came to mind.”
Another summed it up simply: “This song was straight from heaven, never get old!”
Even on YouTube, listeners opened up about how “Altar” has met them in vulnerable moments:
“I’m going through such a hard time in my life right now, but this song encourages me to continue on fighting the good fight.”
Another wrote, “I was doing a night reflection and this music started playing in my head… Lead me to your altar.”
These reactions reflect exactly why “Altar” matters; it’s music that reaches people where they are.

One Final Album with Reach Records
While celebrating this Gold milestone, Hulvey also announced that his upcoming album will be his last with Reach Records. Signed to the label since 2019, Hulvey has grown under Reach’s guidance, releasing some of his most impactful work during his time there.
He expressed nothing but gratitude toward the label, its leadership, and the relationships built along the way. With his contract coming to an end, Hulvey views this next album not as an ending, but as a meaningful closing chapter before stepping into a new season.
Details about the album are still under wraps, but anticipation is already building as fans wonder how he’ll cap off his Reach Records era.
Looking Back: Three Albums Worth Revisiting
As Hulvey stands at this crossroads, now is the perfect time to revisit his catalog. His past three albums, Cry, COMA, and Christopher, showcase his artistic evolution and emotional depth.
Cry introduced listeners to Hulvey’s vulnerability and hunger.
COMA pushed creative boundaries with bolder production and introspection.
Christopher, his most personal work, offered a raw look into his testimony and faith journey.
Each project helped pave the way to moments like “Altar” going Gold and solidified Hulvey as one of the most compelling voices in Christian hip-hop today.
With a Gold record in hand and one final album on the horizon, Hulvey isn’t slowing down. He’s simply preparing for what God has next, and listeners are clearly ready to follow.
