"Dear Hip Hop, this didn't happen because, of swag, drug references, or stripper anthems." -Lecrae |
Christian Hip Hop has always had prejudice and label making critics, but Christian Rap artist Lecrae is trying to get rid of all the skeptics. Lecrae released his most recent album on Tuesday, and to many, this is his best yet. The deluxe version of the album titled "Gravity" was ranked number one in the world by Tuesday afternoon, and the regular version was at number seven! But what amazed me most about this album is how humble he has continued to be. He is consistently tweeting things like, "For more reasons that I can explain I'd ask you to buy an extra physical cope of Gravity and give it away," and "Feels like I'm shining like the moon. Tempted to say "Look at me!" But we all know the moon just reflects the suns light."
In this album, Lecrae raps about topics such as the prejudice people he faces, and how we need to share the gospel with the world. His lyrics are filled with scripture, and he has a way of explaining the gospel clearly enough that even people who have never heard the name of Jesus know what he's talking about.
I don't think there is ever going to be a better album in music. If Lecrae stops writing music, there will never be a better album. But hopefully Lecrae will continue to rep Christ with everything he does, Romans 1:16!
You can buy his album here! :)
