Grammy Award-winning rapper Lecrae weighed in on Kanye West’s new No. 1 album Jesus Is King, saying even if the rapper’s faith was insincere, God is getting the glory.
“I think he’s a polarizing figure, obviously,” Lecrae told CBN News on Monday, speaking about the mainstream rapper who’s professing his faith in Jesus as a born again Christian.
“I think he says what’s on his mind and he’s unmoved by what opinions you might have of him based off of what he feels compelled to say. At this juncture in time, I believe he’s compelled to tell people about Jesus,” Lecrae said.
He slammed Democrats for letting down black communities, trapping black children in failing public schools.
‘The betrayal of the black community is unbelievable,’ Trump said. ‘You have the worst schools than anybody in the country by far.’
He went as far to say that Democrat prioritized undocumented immigrants over black citizens, who have long been a dependable Democratic voting bloc.
‘Democrats care more about illegal aliens than African-American citizens, or our military, or citizens all over the place,’ Trump said.

Early look at the alternate "Concord" Air Jordan 11 Low.
New details regarding Jordan Brand's 2020 lineup continue to surface each and every week, as there are now several highly anticipated Air Jordans on tap for the new year. The latest development pertains to the alternate Air Jordan 11 Low "Concord."
Specific release details have not yet been announced, but we do have our first look at what to expect. This time around, the sneaker's namesake "Concord" color takes center stage on the patent leather and inner lining, rather than just appearing on the outsole and subtle detailing on the tongue.
Rebel is the third studio album by Christian rap artist, Lecrae. The album was released by Reach Records on September 30, 2008. The album was nominated in the best Rap/Hip-Hop Album category at the 40th Annual GMA Dove Awards but lost to Group 1 Crew's Ordinary Dreamers.
Rebel is titled after Lecrae's encouragement to rebel against modern pop culture, also pointing out that Jesus Christ himself was a rebel. Lecrae has stated that the title of the album is both a noun and a verb. Rapzilla called the album "a verbal onslaught against the world's view on life in modern day culture.”
Lecrae tackles some important issues in Rebel. In the album's intro and title track, Lecrae says that Christians must rebel against the ways of the world. Read More Here

THINGS we found along the way
Love Apple or hate it, there's still no question that the company's iPhone lineup generates more buzz than any other smartphone series. Samsung's flagship phones come closer than ever thanks to the company's multi-billion dollar marketing and advertising campaigns that helped it make good on an impossible promise, but the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max are still in a league of their own. In fact, Samsung just released its first smartphone with a revolutionary foldable OLED screen, and yet it still can't seem to match Apple's recently released iPhone 11 models in terms of chatter and buzz online.
The most incredible thing about all this is Samsung's Galaxy Fold has a completely new form factor and a design that's unlike anything we've ever seen before. Meanwhile, the new iPhone 11 series looks exactly like the iPhone XR/XS from last year and the iPhone X from 2017, but with new cameras. That's it... and yet these phones are still the talk of the town while the Galaxy Fold is barely even mentioned anymore in the US and other top smartphone markets. If that's what happens with iPhone models that reuse the same design for a third consecutive year, imagine what 2020 is going to be like when Apple releases the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max with a brand new look that is shaping up to be the most stunning iPhone design we've ever seen.
Have a great week folks.
