Since he exploded onto the scene nearly 20 years ago, Lecrae has become the undisputed leader of Christian hip hop. With a slew of Dove awards, Grammy awards, Stellar awards, and crossover mainstream success, Lecrae has earned his place as the genre’s standard-setter. He’s even led the industry as the founder of Reach Records. But after all those accomplishments, this lyricist still has something new to say.
That’s what you’ll hear on “Spread the Opps,” the brand new single that is the first taste of the upcoming Church Clothes Vol 4.
In a candid conversation on this week’s episode, Lecrae offers a transparent look at his journey through deconstruction into reconstruction. He explains how a mental health crisis ultimately fueled rebirth. Through all of it, the genre giant offers clarifying perspective on what’s truly worth investing in.
Lecrae’s music is self-described as unorthodox, rough around the edges, but all in a righteous and healthy way. Stream “Spread the Opps” now: https://lecrae.ffm.to/opps.OFP

“History does not happen in a straight line…” – Barack Obama
Neither does hip hop nor its prolific breakout rhymist/activist/author/voice of conscience Lecrae. Never afraid to move the needle, few would argue that his much anticipated Columbia Records debut album (due out this summer) comes at a pivotal moment for the artist, as hip hop’s torrent now moves to him.
Surging or insurgent - depending on your point of view - he’s blessed with a visionary verbal arsenal and an abiding faith that’s piloted a unique career trajectory defying the typical hip hop storyline. ‘The system may not have planned for this,’ wrote Vibe about Lecrae, ‘but it’s definitely coming around.’ “More caught than taught,” is how the artist describes his incredible journey that includes two Grammys, a history-making #1 album with his masterful 2014 offering, Anomaly (topped multiple categories, including the Billboard 200 and is RIAA Gold certified), and a compelling live resume, most recently notching a headlining 2016 ‘Destination’ tour which Lecrae says was about “real unity, not pretend unity.” He continues to thoughtfully engage the culture, reeling off a NY Times Bestseller (last year’s riveting memoir ‘Unashamed’) and a breakthrough spoken word performance at the BET Hip Hop Awards last fall that had the twitter-sphere heralding his arrival as truth-telling firebrand. BET hailed it as an “epic poem,” of “necessary affirmations.”
Lecrae relishes his purpose-driven career arc as inspired ‘catalyzer’ - going “from artist to architect” on the new album, widening… Read More
