February 23rd 2024, Tedashii releases his first single of the new year "IYKYK," kicking off the rollout for PT. 2 of the "Dead or Alive" series he launched in September of last year.

Listen to “IYKYK” here.

As the lead single for the upcoming "Dead or Alive Pt. 2" EP, “IYKYK” (If You Know, You Know) brings a new EDM-trap music influenced high-energy sound to Tedashii's discography. As Tedashii has continued to search himself in this season of reflection, his focus now more than ever is to allow the fullness of who he is and who God made him to be to become more evident in his music.

Tedashii adds, “This song is all coming from a place of pride in knowing God. I’m proud of what I know and who I am because of Him” says Tedashii. “All of us who follow God know how amazing it is to have our lives submitted to His will and this song is for those people. How do I have joy despite my circumstances? Well, if you know, you know…”

The first project of this series, “Dead or Alive Pt. 1” released in September of 2023, begins to recount the pain and trials he’s battled, leaving a highly-anticipated end of the story. With the project surpassing four million streams to date, he’s ready to follow it up with part 2 of the series to tell the rest of the story. It’s been a series that has captivated fans with Tedashii’s storytelling and topical explorations of mental health, struggles with injustice and very real warfare with the enemy as he goes through his healing journey.

Tedashii explains, "At several points in my own life, I've felt crushed under the weight of so many hardships and I've even attempted to end it all. It was in that moment I was faced with a choice, to live or die. Dead Or Alive is my journey of choosing to live, while saying to the listener what I said to myself: dead or alive, you decide."

Earlier this week, Tedashii officially teased "Dead or Alive Pt. 2" with this video. Now that he has shared his darkest life experiences, Tedashii is now motivated knowing he's still here and God still has a purpose for him. He's also hopeful that his story and will resonate with people who have had a similar experience and encourage them to choose life abundantly as he has.

About Tedashii:

Tedashii is a tenured artist, musician, public speaker, writer, and communicator burdened to see people become who they were born to be. Growing up in Texas on the fringes of society, family and football were everything - then he found faith. With this faith, he ventured into vocational ministry and eventually artistry as a member of the 116 on Reach Records. He graduated from the University of North Texas with a duel Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and Sociology to further his ambitions to reach those beyond his city limits.

For the last twenty years he’s devoted his life to encouraging others to find their identity in God and leading a movement of unashamed believers who desire to engage the world for His glory. He is the founder of the Chase Foundation—an organization to serve families who have lost children by being a present help for future hope, the originator of Chase Wellness, the CEO of Unashamed Ministries, and the host of his podcast The Dash. Tedashii and his wife (Danielle) live in Atlanta, GA and are the proud parents of four amazing boys.

About Reach Records:

Reach Records is an Atlanta based independent hip-hop label founded in 2004 by Lecrae and Ben Washer. Long before acclaim, awards, plaques, chart positioning, and radio play, the two started the label because they both love hip-hop and Jesus. Reach Records was launched with no strategy, no funds, no big players, but they made big moves! Today Reach Records is a trailblazing label with a roster of nearly 10 artists and a staff of 20 who are unashamed about sharing their faith and passionate about hip-hop. Reach Records is committed to building a movement that combines faith with music and popular culture.
