Beast Mode!!!!!!!! Best Lecrae song i've ever heard. Thank You Jesus CHH keeps getting better and better. It's only a matter of time before CHH becomes the standard from which Hip-Hop music is judged.

This one is decent, I love Reach and Lecrae, but to be honest, neither of these 2 songs from Gravity even compare to anything on KB's Weight and Glory.

@SugarFREE
It all comes down to personal preferences... I love the KB album but these 2 tracks Crae has released have been much greater then what has been released in previous years... so in the end, it all comes down to personal preference. I love the raw and grittiness of the track!

Has anyone noticed that "I Know" is no longer for sale on itunes, and when will this track be available on itunes. I personally am looking forward to the track with Sho Baraka.

First, I would like to say that I truly love the Reach Records family with all of my heart. I think they have done a good job leading teens to the Lord through rap. But I have to say that lately I have been concerned about Lecrae. I am not writing hate comments nor am I trying to bash on Lecrae. I am simply stating my concern. I personally dont agree with making music with secular artists. There is no need for him to make music with secular artists because his music was already getting a lot of notoriety from the world anyway. Also, how can the unsaved help someone else get saved? It just doesnt work that way. We are to be separated from the world. I know the goal is to reach the lost, but we cant use the lost to help the lost. I am glad that No Malice is saved now, but I dont think Big Krit is saved from my knowledge. I constantly pray for Lecrae because some friends and myself have been concerned about him. Romans 12:2 tells us not to be conformed to the ways of this world. The hand symbols Reach use in videos also confuse me as well and I'm sure that they are aware of them. Like I said I love all of them and their music, but a lot of people have some major concerns about Reach now. Everything I have written has been out of love and concern. I am not judging at all! God bless! Praying for you guys.

To Discipleo'God: True, but I just dont want Crae to take the path of other gospel artists. Crae's music has helped me grow as a Christian and I dont want the ways of the world to rub off on him. I just dont necessarily think that someone who isn't saved can help save someone because it would send mixed signals.

I love what Crae is doing you see the only way to save the lost is to interact with the lost like Jesus did we all was evil but he interacted with us so he can save us. Crae is doing exactly what he's suppose to be doing he using secular rappers to get the people who listen to secular rappers and not gospel rappers and if they listen to him he's able to plant that little seed inside of them that can blossom some time in the future. Lecrae is awesome at leading and creating music that helps out teens and such but to truly get the truly lost souls he have to go into their world and show them the truth about Christian,s Jesus, God and The Bible

Hey Isaiah Appreciate your comments and concerns. Just wanted to send an FYI your way. The mainstream rapper in the video is malice from the clipse. If you follow the secular hip hop world you should have seen a while back he was born again. In March he actually changed his name to no-malice. So although he has a mainstream past i think he is the perfect person for this video, because the secular fans will recognize hiim and hopefully find out more about it.

Thank u Dustin for responding to me. Im glad u see my concern and that u realize that I am NOT trying to hate. Im happy No Malice is saved and I hope more artists will come to the Lord. I constantly pray for Crae and the rest of Reach because they have been a blessing to me and others. I just had a few concerns in certain areas. God bless.

It is not our job to judge whether people are saved or not. Do not judge for you will be judged. Just because you may view other rappers as "not-saved" doesn't mean they won't be saved in the end. Jesus came to save and I think anytime LeCrae joins with secular artists can only be a good thing as it may plant seeds in other individuals which can lead to their salvation. I don't know LeCrae personally, but he seems like he is strong in the faith and we all should continue to pray that he stays that way.

I personally love Lecrae and the whole reach fam. Their obedience to Christ has been instrumental in my walk and also helping me reach lost. I would caution people to not be so quick to judge just because Big KRIT is on Lecrae's new album that it is indicative of a crossover of faith on Lecrae's part. I would also like us to remember who it was who Christ hung out with in his ministry on earth.....Fishermen (common if not low life people in that society), Tax Collectors (a tax collector could best be equated as mob henchmen people would "pay for protection"), prostitutes and etc. I would also like for us to remember that the "regligous" people of the day would persecute Christ because of his association with "sinners" (we all are sinners, some just saved by GRACE!). Christ said for us to be IN the world not OF the world. I have never met Crae or anyone from the reach fam, I don't hang out with them but I DO know what the message of their music is CHRIST FIRST! I am so proud of reach and I DO pray that the Lord watches over them and keeps them safe. Finally, I believe that a Christian music artist should be salt, a light in the world, if all they do is for Christians then how is that preaching the Gospel to all nations? Keep doing what your doing reach, I love ya and am blessed by how the Lord uses you to minister to me and my friends. God Bless.

Hey Isaiah, I've seen people wonder about the hand signs too, and if you watched some videos on it I know which ones you are talking about exactly. What's really bad about those videos is that they either freeze frame them, or they put them in slow motion. Of course it looks like they're throwing up horns when you do that, it's easy to assume that is what they are doing when you don't look at it from their perspective. For example, I've noticed some times that when I'm freestyling or rapping and using a lot of hand motion, just naturally my hands will sometimes fall into a position like that. If somebody came and put me in slow motion or freeze framed videos of it, they would say I'm throwing up Satanic symbols, while in reality I'm just moving my hands a lot.
What's even more flawed about it, is some of these images and videos are made during the video Go Hard, which if you look back on those times Lecrae wasn't even getting much attention from the secular world, and the messages were indisputably about Christ. The same stands now, if you listen to the words, it is all Christ-centric. As others have said, Jesus was in the world but not of it. He was constantly around those that aren't considered Godly, prostitutes, tax collectors, fisherman, etc.. Moreover, how can a good tree produce bad fruit, or more importantly, how can a bad tree produce good fruit? If Lecrae was driven by Satan, then why would he be leading people to Christ?

Im not saying that there is anything wrong with being around the sinners cuz we have to be around them to convert them. But I dont think that we should let them minister on our albums if they aren't truly converted cuz that sends mixed signals. Like i said I love Crae and his ministry but I still dont agree with letting the secular artists make music with us. Since lecraes rapping is like preaching, him allowing secular artists to rap on his album is the same as letting an unsaved person minister in the pulpit... It just doesnt work that way. Like i said, I love crae and his ministry and im not hating at all. I just think we as christians should be more careful about who we work with. But i dont want to be accused of judging or stirring up controversy so this will be my last comment about this issue. Thanks and God bless!
Isaiah
– Aug 6 2012
I think we need to focus more on the result of the music. Is it reaching out to new people, or are we just Christian just enjoying a new cd that is coming out. I always try to share my music with the non-believers that I know, instead of just keeping it to myself. Our goal should to spread the Word.
& we shouldn't judge anyone, we don't know the whole story...I can only imagine how it must be to be a new believer, and everyone still sees the bad in you....sees what you USED to be, not what you are NOW....

Let us be quick to listen and slow to speak.....
What is Lecrae's message? Is it Christ first? (YES!) We must remember that when we go to work we don't work with Christians only.....the world is out there and what kind of IMPACT ARE WE MAKING????? In it not of it! 1-1-SIX FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alex 116
– Aug 6 2012
If Lecrae wanted to doo secular music and be affiliated with illuminati and ll the other GARBAGE he is accused of then he would. His gift and ability on the mic would guarantee that. The fact that the Lord has elected him and placed him to minister to the world through Hip Hop should cause us to rejoice.

@Isaiah Parker
Amen brother. You are right to be concerned. I love Lecrae too, but we ought to be praying for him, and for these mislead sheep that think this is new muaic is all good. It isn't.
@everyone else
It is watered down despite what Lecrae or anyone else may claim. Just go back and listen to "Real Talk." Now that was 116 reaching out to the lost music, and the lyrics were clear, salty, and filled with sound doctrine. Yeah, the attitude hasn't changed, but the clairity of his message has. The songs got good hardcore beats, but they don't have that clear message. Again, check out Real Talk or go listen to timothy brindle or shai linne. Huge difference!
This is pragmatic man-centered Christianity cloaked in hard core beats, but check it out, an old man who can barely wisper but preaches sound doctrine is more raw and hard core than this. This is all fluff, hype, smoke...whatever you wanna call it. Truth is hard. Attitude don't mean jack by itself. You all have been deceieved and lead astray from what reall matters.

I do share yalls concern. He has really changed i must admitt it. I luv his music and im getting the impression its bad but what else do i have like christian rap thats any good? This video was VERY questionable in my opinon. This music really isnt helping me anymore. Church clothes and Gravity dont make that much sence. Why does he diss the church in Church Clothes but is all for it on The Bride and many others? I understand churches make mistakes but God said there wont be a perfect church till he comes back. I aient hating just concerned. What does Lecrae mean on Gotta Know 'tv goes off THIRD EYE STILL LOKKIN'. Its just somethin ud expect from a mason not a christian. Again not hatin just got alot on my mind now. Bangin4God, did u carry on that conversation? if so what did yall say? I really want to see a debate on this with him.

This sad...smh people cant even say they concerned about lecrae without someone using the excuse or word judging man if the shoe fits wear it!!! ROMANS 12:1-2 BEEN SAYING BUT YOULL EGNORED THE WARNINGS BUT THINGS ARE REALLY ABOUT TO GET WORSE WHEN HIS NEW ALBUM DROPS!!! 2 CORITHANS 10:5 ANYTHING THAG EXALTS ITSELF ABOVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD ITS COMING DOWN!!!

Its sad that Isiah who is basically sharing his concerns for Lecrae is getting jumped on by people who lack knowledge of the word Romans 12:1-2 clearly states where in the world, not of it, but then goes on to say be transformed by the renewing of your mind!!! LECRAE clearly states and i read this yesterday in XXL that he is glad that hes not classified under christan rap and that he much rather be seen and heard as hip hopper he goes on again to say christian is who i am not what i do... sad because church clothes was demonic, people think lecrae flipped on Church clothes nope it all started with rebel (in which he made up then to flip his sound and change his persona and that when he dropped rehab and overdose letting fans know that he wasnt rehabing from sin but being called and seen as a chritian rapper and from then on the compromising began... Gravity will be where you
see him try exalt himself which will lead him into losing himself and youll see a new lecrae and the old one you grown to love the godly side will be secularized and youll see him how he wants the world to see him luke warm saved but willing to copromise just for approval (Big Krit go and check his content on Ludacris on fire song, no malice is still possessed and is border line christain willing to turn back any moment Mali music is with the world as well he is on akons label with likes of tpain and demonic sorceress gaga, but
Im not going to pretebd Isisah scripture tells me that anything that exalts itself above the
knowledge of God is coming DOWN 2 Corithans 10:5!!!

I love the feel but I see a whole lot of hand signs being thrown up. I would love to ignore it but it is thrown up so many time it is obviously on purpose. Can someone please give me an answer as to why? Why do Christians throw these signs up when they know that it is associated with wickedness. Just pay attention and you will see it to. Not hating, just questioning and stating the obvious. Much love, may grace and peace be with you. These brothas need a lot of prayers

Everyone that reads this, please pray for Lecrae and all the rest of Reach. I would just LOVE to see the old Crae. Id like to know how he got into this. How does someone go from a wonderfull paster to a God hatin mason? Lets just pray that God would use someone else or just anything.Iv known hes been in it a year after Rehab but BANGIN4GOD made things even clearer.

– Aug 10 2012
I just relized how he more on him than God or anything.'Im on my jayo. Im in my own lane.' And how many times did he say people hatin and stuff? Soon hes going to be kenya west by using christianity to make him look good but is the opposite. We can probably expect that in 2014 when he releases his next albulm. And Javon Stone, have u seen me get slamed on kb talkin bout latest albulm? All i said is dont get tangled in the illuminate and look at lecrae exposed on youtube

I'm shocked at some of the responses on this board. We all have struggles and do wrong. Stop judging LeCrae and focus on the wrongs that you do in your life. We need to be honest with ourselves. The Church is failing and that is leading to this world getting worse and worse. I have no problem with someone calling out the church when it isn't doing its job. LeCrae is still rapping about God and is unashamed to say it in a world that gives you dirty looks if you do so. Keep fighting the good fight LeCrae.

I realize i do wrong but i dont blame the church. Its not because of the church that the world is failing, its because people dont go to church and hate God. The church is the body of Christ. Watch what u say

At the end of the day these quote on quote saved and knowledgeable christians who are secretly luke warm and lovers of all things and very compsionate about and tolerant about letting sin and the people who commit them run rapidly are going to continue to go against the word of GOD so those who are on here say what you have to say do so and don't be ashamed be free and speak what GOD has placed in your hearts thats control (witchcraft) and I rebuke that in THE NAME OF JESUS, it says no where in the bible that you are judging beacuse you said that Lecrae is compromising and your praying for him, and hoping that the he heeds to the warning from the GOD and His people and gets back on the right path!!! People need to stop the carnality and be like(ROMANS 12:1-2) said, real talk!!!

TOO EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!
LECRAE IS A GROWN MAN HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING!
SOMEBODY CAN BE WATCHING THIS VIDEO WHO DOES DRUGS AND CAN BE CHANGED BY THIS VIDEO!!
QUICK WITH ALL THE COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT HE IS DOING WITH HIS MUSIC YEAH HE IS FEAT BIG K.R.I.T. BUT YOU GUYS SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT GOD IS USING LECRAE TO GET TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT SAVED.
I HAVE A HOMEBOY WHO LISTENS TO BIG K.R.I.T. AND I TOLD HIM THAT A CHRISTIAN RAPPER IS GOING TO FEAT. HIM, HE STARTED TO LISTEN TO LECRAE AND WAS TOUCHED OF WHAT HE WAS RAPPING ABOUT REAL LIFE AND WHATS GOING ON WITH THIS WORLD.
YOU GUYS SAYING ALL THAT IS GOING TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE THINK WRONG ABOUT LECRAE SO PLEASE ENJOY THE MUSIC, YOU PUTTING THOSE COMMENTS IS REALLY NOT GOING TO EFFECTED LECRAE
PRAY THAT HE DOES MORE MUSIC ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL OUR GOD IS
AND LETS KEEP IT ROMANS 1:16 LETS USE THIS MUSIC TO SPREAD HIS WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still can't get passed the hand signs brotha. I know that those signs are wicked and I don't understand why Christians throw them up. That is the main thing that bothers me. Look at this video and see how many times its thrown up. Watch carefully. God bless these brothas and I will continue to pray for them

My only comment to those people quick to judge Lecrae is to ask this question.....What is he doing/saying that is damaging to the gospel? Look in Acts when Paul was in Athens preaching.....he wasn't quoting scripture because those LISTENING to Paul did not honor the scriptures....instead Paul quoted the philosophers of the day and showed who Christ is through the secular philosophers of the day. What is Lecrae doing but reaching those lost using a platform that they understand. Now if Lecrae comes out with an album praising money, praising girls, drugs, etc.... then we need to pray and be concerned!!! I understand some of the concerns voiced (NOT THE ILLUMINATI OR THE HAND SIGNS LOL), I felt some myself the 1st time I listened to Church Clothes but as I really listened to the album I saw his heart for Christ shine through. As Christians we need to do all that we can to support the body, love the body, the bride aint all pretty but she purchased by Christ. It is our personal relationships with Christ that will dictate the direction of the church. I believe that the cats at reach records (especially Lecrae) could have went the secular route by now and made mad loot, but they are staying loyal to Christ. Remember that Christ hung out the "Low Lifes" of His time. One final question, "Is everybody you hang out with a Christian?" If you say "no" then what does that make you? If you say "yes" then how are you being used by Christ to further the Kingdom? I love you guys, Lecrae.....Holla at me!!!!!!!
alex 116
– Aug 12 2012
alex 116, its not about what people say that is what they mean. Example, if someone says 'love ya bro!' then flips u off, does he still love u? If someone says 'Christ is my hero' then throws up baphomet horns, do they really view him as a hero? Plus, doesnt the Bible say something (if forgot where) about men will say one thing but thier heart will mean another? And your right, we should do the OPPOSITE of what Lecrae does in Church Clothes and love the body.
