For more than three decades, Franklin has been a driving force in contemporary Gospel, blending Gospel, R&B, Hip-Hop and Pop.

In October 2023, he released the critically acclaimed Father’s Day (Fo Yo Soul/RCA), featuring the chart-topping single “All Things”, which earned him his 20th Grammy at the 2024 ceremony for Best Gospel Performance/Song. In 2025, he followed up with the soul-stirring single “Do It Again”.
