Tori Tellem Unveils “Certified Royalty” ft. Apostle Doc
Pensacola, FL (July 17, 2025) — On July 4, rising gospel-hip-hop artist Tori Tellem released her newest single, “Certified Royalty (feat. Apostle Doc)”, a heartfelt collaboration with her father, the beloved faith leader Apostle Doc, known simply as “Daddio” to his children. The track is a standout summer release and the latest lead-in to Tori’s upcoming debut album, To Whom It May Concern, dropping August 15, 2025.
The single is now available on all major platforms, including Apple Music, SoundCloud, Amazon Music, and ToriTellem.com.
A Release Rooted in Royalty
“Certified Royalty” dropped just in time for Independence Day weekend. Tori teased the track on July 1 and followed through with a full release on July 4, calling it her “new summer bop.” The song is equal parts declaration, encouragement, and testimony, with an empowering message about identity, worth, and spiritual royalty.
Featuring a dynamic spoken-word contribution from her father, Apostle Doc, the track delivers a multi-generational celebration of faith, family, and favor. With a modern Neo-soul, funkadelic, disco, 70s-80s beat and bold lyricism, it’s both catchy and deeply moving.
A Father’s Blessing in Every Bar
This isn’t your average feature. Apostle Doc doesn’t just lend his voice, he lends his legacy. His presence on the track is warm, wise, and powerful. His part delivers grounding truths and it adds an irreplaceable layer of authenticity to the song.
Fan Reactions & Early Praise
The track has already drawn praise across platforms. One listener on SoundCloud wrote, “You built this track like a story arc.” It’s a sentiment many seem to echo. The track is charting well on Apple Music, becoming one of Tori’s most streamed songs to date.
A Glimpse into "To Whom It May Concern"
“Certified Royalty” is track 2 on Tori’s upcoming album, To Whom It May Concern, which is available now for pre-order. The album features 13 powerful tracks and is a deeply personal body of work. It explores Tori’s walk with God, her experiences as a woman of faith, and her journey as an artist.
