TV ISH: 2013 BET Awards - 'BEST GOSPEL ARTIST' and the winner is...

With over 10 LPs under his belt, the prolific singer, songwriter and producer uplifted spirits last year with his LP A Beautiful Soul.  

Thanks in part to his Grammy-winning album, Gravity, Lecrae has been able to achieve credibility within both gospel and hip hop circles.

Actress and gospel songstress Tamela Mann personifies the definition of a woman. Mann struck gold as an actress in Tyler Perry's plays and as a vocalist with Kirk Franklin and The Family. Currently her hit "Take Me To The King" is running the Gospel charts.

These California-based urban contemporary gospel queens helped reinvent the genre for a new generation. One reality show, seven albums and fifteen years later, the sweet and powerful song stylings of Erica Atkins-Campbell and Tina Atkins-Campbell still keeps fans in love with the spirit.

Two -time BET Award winner Marvin Sapp continued to uplift the Lord in song. For the release of his hit LP I Win, the inspirational singer is once again up for the Best Gospel trophy at the 2013 BET Awards.
