Lecrae 'REHAB' Interview from Rapzilla.com on Vimeo.

 

 

Lecrae is preparing to embark on a journey far away from album sales, interviews, 

and videos.  

Check out his latest blog to find out where he's going and how you can support the mission.

Rehabilitation is a process.

I'm currently undergoing a certain type of rehab. Spiritually, I'm being conformed into the image of Christ. It's painful because the old me, my flesh, is resistant and hates the process. To be completely honest, this year alone I've battled legalism, depression, anxiety, and selfishness. Not only are those things difficult and frustrating for myself and people around me, but they are also a hideous offense to God. They are sins and/or the results of sin.  

The obvious cure is ALWAYS seeing and savoring more of Jesus. But HOW do we do that in this world of distractions competing for our affections?

Take me for example, I spent the last few months recording my album, rigorously checking my Twitter and Facebook, moving to a new area, traveling on weekends, filming videos, having family outings, date nights, meetings, and interviews. Where in that whirlwind do I find fresh affection for Jesus? Where do I demonstrate to my children that Daddy is different than other entertainers out there?

Many of us need to stop and reflect on God. I've found nothing like the solace and restoration of being somewhere my phone and laptop don't go; where I don't know what the latest movie is; where all the luxuries and distractions of my life are stripped away and I'm left to focus on Jesus and his mission... Read More

 Album Bio

Anger, depression, addiction, and discontentment: just a few of the ills that plaque many a man.  The solutions: join a group, read a book, basically, YOU can win this battle! 

 But what about the war?  In solely attacking the behaviors or the external problems in our lives the origin of our issues is overlooked.  Essentially, we try to alter effects, instead of exploring and tackling the cause. Some don’t realize the root of their problems is internal, in fact spiritual. Others recognize, but underestimate how serious their problems are. And even still, as believers, we trust in ourselves to overcome by our own strength.

 Out of a burden to encourage and challenge others, while also confessing his own struggles in this area, Lecrae offers REHAB.  On his long-awaited fourth album, Lecrae informs listeners that because of our sinful nature we all need rehabilitation, healing, and restoration back to the original state of unity with God. The universal solution to all our problems is not found in anything but Jesus. The Christian life is therefore an entrance into rehab.

 Fittingly, the REHAB experience begins with “Check In,” as Lecrae prepares himself and his audience to leave behind their addictions and hindrances and enter rehabilitation.  What follows is not the usual compilation of sermons and theology-driven lyrics listeners have come to expect from Lecrae. Instead, REHAB is full of gritty, heartfelt, vulnerable and even emotional songs like “Just Like You,” which specifically explores the impact of substitutionary role models that pale in comparison to the perfect example found in Christ.                

 Lecrae gets support from Sho Baraka, Trip Lee, Tedashii, Pro, J.R., Benjah and many others along the journey towards restoration—with several memorable collaborations.  PK, CheeseBeats, J.R., and Benjah contribute on production and sonically, help take the listener along a soul-full ride.  REHAB also features bangers like “Use To Do It Too” and “High” along with the anthems “Children of the Light,” “40 Deep,” and “Walking On Water”--on which Lecrae boasts in God’s ability to empower the weakest of men.

 Lecrae’s prayer is that people will not just gain practical insight for their lives, but they would find real sympathy from him and mostly, Jesus.  He is more than our healer. He IS our healing.  He doesn't just offer us peace. He IS our peace. And He IS our rehabilitation. So find rest for your weary soul and joy in the midst of life's ups and downs by checking into REHAB.

Trip lee talks to Christian Today about life, marriage, and his latest album.

From Christian Today:

CT: You’ve just brought out your new album ‘Between Two Worlds’. What does it mean to be in between two worlds?

TL: I wanted to make an album that dealt with life and the things that people wrestle with. I want it to be stuff that everybody can relate to - the difficulties in life, because we live in a broken world, a fallen world. It’s really a collection of reflections about life. For me as a believer I found myself in between two worlds because I live in this world, this fallen world and I want to glorify God here and I want to point to Jesus here, I want to work here and live with my wife here but I also look forward to the recreation of this world when the Lord Jesus comes back and makes all things new. I live here but my citizenship is in Heaven. Read more

Humanity has searched long and hard for answers to our ills, pains, and unsatisfying lives. While we were created emotionally, spiritually, and physically healthy,  sin has caused us turn away from God and  separated us from Him and His goodness. We need restoration, healing, and rehabilitation back to that original state of unity with God. Jesus is our rehabilitation. The Christian life is an entrance into Rehab.
