To gain the meaning of a situation, especially a tragic one, humanity will undoubtedly create a narrative. We have to. We have to do this in order to reconcile in our minds what all the chaos means. We are, by nature, social scientists who believe that when tragic things happen, there is an antagonist and protagonist and a storyline to be told.

The question is which narrative will be told? Who will be the protagonist and [the] antagonist? Through what paradigm will it be seen? We have pretty

7. Lecrae understands the value in providing a quality product.

If you look at the brand leader in just about any category you should notice those companies take pride in providing customers with quality not quantity. There are a few exceptions to this rule. Mcdonald's and Subway run the fast food market, but that's fast food! When people go to Mcdonald's it's out of value and convenience. They want it cheap and fast. But let's talk about Apple.

4. Lecrae has charisma AKA swag: ‘Walk like a King, to get treated like a King.

In everything Lecrae does, he walks in confidence. Some christians take confidence out of context. They think it's a bad thing because they confuse it with arrogance. There is a difference between confidence and arrogance. See Arrogance is not attractive but Confidence is. We are drawn to a person with confidence and charisma. Not only can you have confidence

I had a little conversation with my Wife one day while we were driving to Universal City walk. Now she is not a huge Christian Hip Hop fan. She likes it but she is not deep in it like I am. We were talking about Lecrae and the new album he was dropping when she asked me a question. "Why is Lecrae so popular? He is not the best Christian rapper. I've heard better rappers and better albums so why does everyone get excited when he puts an album out?" That conversation lead to the idea of me writi

Lecrae has never been afraid of being different. As the first artist to have a record top both the Gospel and Top 200 Charts, being different is kind of what Lecrae does.

In the visuals for his latest single “Say I Won’t” featuring Andy Mineo, the Anomaly artist enlists the help of two precocious kids to mimic both he and Mineo as they play video games, ride their bikes through the street and perfect their physique while doing push ups.

Lecrae is a well-needed breath of fresh air in hip-hop

REACH RECORDS

Lecrae shared his heart with Billboard magazine—no holds barred—in this video interview. Here’s one of the most powerful things he said:

“As a rapper who is a devout Christian, you would think I would struggle or wrestle with compromise because a lot of hip-hop is full of violence and misogyny and so forth but it’s not really a struggle for me because it’s not my reality. It’s not the life that I’m living.”
