Lecrae recently thanked fans on Twitter after his new song “All I Need is You” reached number 1 on the iTunes chart early Tuesday.

The Grammy award-winning artist is gearing up for the September release of his seventh studio album “Anomaly.”

“All I Need is You,” which is the third single off the album, recently peaked at number one on iTunes, surpassing Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” and Jessie J’s “Bang Bang.” Lecrae was sure to thank fans via Twitter.

“Y’all’s support is crazy!! Number 1 song on ITunes tho?! God bless y’all!,” he tweeted to his 876,000 followers.

Last year the Christian hip hop artist, 34, won his first ever Grammy award when his 2012 album “Gravity” was named Best Gospel Album. On September 9 he will drop “Anomaly,” which fans anticipate to be an even better album.

He recently explained why the forthcoming album feels very much like his “first.”

“I think a lot of times you really meet an artist on his first album. They don’t have all these huge features. They don’t have a lot of the artificial add-ons. You’re getting authenticity from them because they have so much to say,” he told XXL magazine. “They have a lot to communicate. That’s why this feels like my first album. This is the first time I [have] really been this open and transparent.. It’s really a personal album.”

The Reach Records co-founder writes and produces his own music and he is often praised for delivering uplifting messages through his thought-provoking lyrics.
