The label rose to prominence in the 1990s, largely on the runaway success of gospel artist [[Kirk Franklin]]. The label has grown to become one of the most prominent major gospel labels. GospoCentric later spawned the imprint '''B-Rite Music''', which was used to launch artists like [[Trin-i-tee 5:7]] and [[God's Property]] who found considerable mainstream success. GospoCentric was purchased by [[Zomba Music Group]] in the mid 2000s, which also owned the major gospel label [[Verity Records]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Price |first=Deborah Evans |date=2004-10-12 |title=Zomba Buys GospoCentric |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/zomba-buys-gospocentric-1426916/ |access-date=2025-09-22 |website=Billboard |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Camacho |first=Justin |last2= |first2= |date=2004-10-13 |title=GospoCentric Records Acquired by Zomba Label Group |url=https://www.christianpost.com/news/gospocentric-records-acquired-by-zomba-label-group.html |access-date=2025-09-23 |website=[[The Christian Post]] |language=en}}</ref> GospoCentric has since been defunct, and the purchase now led to the record label [[RCA Inspiration]] which is owned by [[Sony Music Entertainment]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gospelwire.com/09302009gospo.html |title=Gospo Centric Records launches new web site |publisher=Gospel Wire |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061211043633/http://www.gospelwire.com/09302009gospo.html |archivedate=2006-12-11 }}</ref> The label gradually faded from album billing, between 2004 to 2011 on record releases.
