About the artist
God's Property is an American gospel choir founded in 1992 by Linda Ray Hall-Searight, best known for its breakthrough collaboration with gospel artist and producer Kirk Franklin. The group became a defining act of the 1990s gospel renaissance, when producers like Franklin fused traditional choir arrangements with contemporary R&B, pop, and hip hop production to reach far beyond the church audience.
Their most famous recording, «Stomp», built around a sample of Funkadelic's «One Nation Under a Groove» and featuring a rap verse, became a crossover hit that helped bring urban gospel into mainstream radio and charts, exposing a broad pop and R&B audience to choir-based gospel music for the first time. Songs like «My Life Is In Your Hands» and «Love» showcase the group's fuller, more traditional choral gospel sound, balancing the outreach-minded singles with worship-oriented material.
God's Property's success is closely tied to Kirk Franklin's role as writer and producer, and the group is frequently discussed as part of his broader body of work reshaping gospel music for a new generation. Their catalog remains a touchstone for the genre's crossover era, illustrating how a full choir format could coexist with radio-ready production.
