Blake Whiteley returns with a gripping new single titled “LONG WAY,” set to release June 6, 2025, with NRT Music. Known for his bold honesty and unwavering message of faith, Blake delivers one of his most transparent tracks to date–an anthem for the believers who choose purpose over popularity, growth over comfort, and God’s timing over shortcuts.
“Long Way” is more than just a song–it’s a testimony. With gritty bars and an unfiltered look at his walk with Christ, Blake paints a picture of the narrow road, filled with testing, refining, and trust. “I done came a long way, IDK I took the long way,” the chorus declares, capturing the emotional weight of staying true to the process even when it’s painful. Through raw verses and hard-hitting delivery, Blake speaks to anyone who’s ever felt the heat of the refining fire but pressed forward anyway.
Coming off a growing legacy in Christian hip-hop, Blake Whiteley continues to blaze his own trail. A native of Indiana, his 2017 debut album Break Thru made waves, landing in the top 5 on iTunes hip-hop and gaining traction across Christian radio. His single “New Day” became one of the most-played tracks of the year and earned accolades from Billboard and Rapzilla alike. With streaming numbers climbing–over 2.2 million minutes streamed in the past year–his music resonates with a global audience hungry for authenticity and truth.
But Blake’s impact goes beyond stats.
After a dramatic encounter with God in 2011 during a secular performance, his life took a radical turn. That moment sparked a mission to use his voice not for fame, but for the Kingdom. Today, he’s bringing the Gospel to spaces that desperately need it–through beats, bars, and unshakable belief.
“LONG WAY” is a rallying cry for those who refuse to compromise. Whether you’re walking through fire or climbing uphill, this track reminds you that God is working in the process–and you’re not alone. Let it play loud and let it strengthen your stride.
