I ended up on a whirlwind of travels across the nation as a missionary to urban culture and anyone influenced by Hip-Hop. I was hurt by some of what I saw. Many were excited about hearing Christ proclaimed in music, but when it was over, there were few solid biblical communities to become a part of to encourage fellowship, prayer, disciple-making, and biblical literacy.  So I recorded “After The Music Stops,” a battle cry for believers to devote themselves to an unashamed gospel-centered life. .....Read More

  • Brian Sexton (Jul 10th, 10 at 3:06 PM) I cannot wait to hear this album! Based on what was said about what this album will be about, I know it's gonna be an awesome album & I KNOW this will be a tool used to minister to many people just as Lecrae's previous albums have not only been to others, but myself as well. I appreciate the major impact the music has had on my life & how it's challenged me.

  • janet (Jul 12th, 10 at 1:41 PM) Can hardly wait til the new album drops. Searching for "wholesome rap music" for my grandsons I found Lecrae and Trip Lee. This 57 year old,former country music listening,grandmother, received the message the LORD JESUS was sending through the music and testimony of these two young men and have rededicated my life to serving CHRIST THE KING. The TRUTH breaks all age, gender and race barriers. I am unashamed!!
  • Jimmy Byrd (Jul 12th, 10 at 2:49 PM) Finally, I have been anticipating the arrival on your new album. Now, I will be more eager since now we know when it's coming! Keep allowing the LORD to work through you, man.

    P.S. I volunteer at a Pregnancy Clinic, and I'm using the 13 Letters Curriculum with two different couples. Thanks for that resource!

    This jesus music has been such a tremendous blessing in my life. It's what got me through the hard school year and it is what has me thinking positive. I learned that a positive mind can go a long way.

  • orlando burgwyn (Jul 21st, 10 at 8:50 PM) Lecrae since I first heard your album "rebel", I was so amazed cause you kept it real on every track. I couldnt help but to thank god that you didnt add or subtract from the word cause it is what it is. Most of my encouragement comes from you,creflo, and the rest of the 116 members.I love you god bless.
  • Samuel Herzog (Jul 30th, 10 at 5:51 PM) Lecrae you are an amazing example to anyone who listens to your music. I am constantly blessed and encouraged by the content of you music! I pray that the Lord will continue to use you through your next album. I am from Minnesota and you will be in Minneapolis on November 6th. That happens to be the opening of whitetail deer season where many families have annual hunting trips. I am sure you can't change that date, but if you could come again soon, me and many friends I know that will have to miss the concert would appreciate it greatly!! God Bless
