EDITOR'S NOTE -- The seasonal recording from Reach Records, "The Gift" is  Slice-approved. A combination of Hip Hop and R&B songs featuring some of the top talent in Christian rap, this compilation of 9 feel-good songs is lit with jingly jams.  (We love that it comes on vinyl.)  You'll want to have your air buds turned up to ten on the very millennial versions of "Silent Night" and "Joy."   But the entire project has enough swag and positive yuletide energy to light up any  tree it is placed under. 

November 21, 2019 (Atlanta, GA) -- Reach Records gives fans the ultimate gift this holiday season with an exclusive deluxe edition of The Gift: A Christmas Compilation featuring three brand new never-been-released tracks performed by 116 artists.  The re-release will be available starting November 29, 2019, along with a limited vinyl rendition available at www.reachrecords.com.

Originally released last year, the album debuted at No. 13 on iTunes Christian Albums Chart.  This year, the new holiday favorite is back with new guest collaborations with artists like Hollyn, Wande, Andy Mineo and GAWVI making up a dynamic 12-track album that will be a “must-have” for holiday music playlists. Fans can enjoy their Christmas classics like  “Silent Night," “Noel,” and "We Three Kings”  and much more sung by their favorite hip-hop artists.

"We wanted to give Christmas a new feel while maintaining the integrity of our faith in the content of the records,” says Marcus Hollinger, vice president of marketing at Reach Records.  “If you caught the release  last year, you're in for a real treat since we've added new voices and a visual experience to take it to another level."

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
