Kirk Franklin – This Time Ft. GloRilla
Gospel legend Kirk Franklin teams up with Memphis rapper GloRilla on This Time, a lively collaboration that brings church energy and hip-hop attitude together. The American artists deliver a refreshing sound built around faith, hope and overcoming difficult seasons.
This Time blends contemporary gospel, soul and hip-hop with bold horns, crisp handclaps and a lively rhythm that gives the song its celebratory feel. Kirk Franklin leads with his powerful vocals and choir-backed chorus, while GloRilla adds confident rap verses and her unmistakable Memphis style. The message centres on holding on to faith, finding strength through hardship and believing that better days are ahead.
Released on September 25, 2026, the single serves as a preview of Kirk Franklin’s upcoming album, I Am What I Am, scheduled for October 30, 2026. The collaboration also reunites Franklin and GloRilla following their previous work on “Rain Down on Me,” which appeared on GloRilla’s debut album, Glorious.
