Andy Mineo Reveals the Release Date and Cover Art of "Uncomfortable"

Christian hip hop artist Andy Mineo announces the release of his second studio album, "Uncomfortable," via Reach Records. The album will be released on September 18. It will be executively-produced by !llmind, who has produced for J. Cole, Slaughterhouse and 50 Cent.

The cover art features the New York rapper's face pressed up against a scanner.

Reach Record's co-founder Lecrae's album, Anomaly, debuted at the top of the charts in September.

Andrew Aaron "Andy" Mineo, formerly known as C-Lite, is originally from Syracuse. Mineo worked as a producer in high school at Henninger High School in Upstate New York, and joined the hip-hop group Fat Camp, signed to Syracuse University's Marshall Street Records. After moving to New York City, he realized his weak spiritual condition, re-dedicated his life to Christ and closed down his production studio in order to restart his career.

He released his first mixtape Sin is Wack in 2009. After providing hook vocals for the song "Background" by Lecrae from the album Rehab, he collaborated with other rappers.

In 2011, he released the single "In My City", featuring Efrain from Doubledge, that also gained him more attention. He appeared on the song "Reverse" by Tedashii from Blacklight. He signed to Reach Records in 2011 and abandoned his stage name "C-Lite" in favor of his legal name. Under this name he released another mixtape, Formerly Known. His full-length studio album, Heroes for Sale, was released on April 16, 2013. On January 28, 2014, he released an EP titled Never Land.

His video and television work includes his creation of "Saturday Morning Car-Tunez", a four-part web series in which Mineo portrayed himself and remixed classic hip-hop songs, and his co-direction of several of his own music videos. As a producer, his work includes tracks from his self-releases "In My City", Formerly Known, Saturday Morning Car-Tunez, and Heroes for Sale. He also produced the single "Destiny" by Sheena Lee, in which he was a featured performer, and, along with rapper Derek Minor, aided DJ Official in producing "Power Trip" by Lecrae, featuring Andy Mineo, Derek Minor, and Sho Baraka, from the album Gravity. Gravity won the Best Gospel Album category in the 2013 Grammy Awards.
