If you’re a Hip-Hop head, get accessible to apperceive Lecrae, the Atlanta rapper who discharge some aureate confined during the Cypher this year. He’s the latest fizz from the South, but accept carefully, and you’ll apprehend that he’s not your boilerplate MC. Lecrae is a proud, declared Christian, but in all fairness, he aloof wants to be advised a abundant rapper with a absolute bulletin to go alternating with his skills.
Lecrae’s name is all over the abode appropriate now, acknowledgment in allotment to a affection on an accessible anthology that has aloof about every added acceptable name in the business on it, too. The name he wants you to remember, however, is Jesus. There is absolutely no abashment in Lecrae’s bold aback it comes to the “Big Man Upstairs” and his sacrificing son, so AllHipHop.com was acquisitive to apprentice added about the about newcomer and possibly get “blessed” at the aforementioned time:
AllHipHop.com: OK, you’ve been active like crazy lately, sir! I capital to achieve abiding we got a adventitious to allocution to you. For those who don’t apperceive you, what has afflicted in your activity afresh that now has your name spilling all over the place?
Lecrae: I think, obviously, a lot of heavy, constant performing. Social media apparently plays a ample role into that, and again actuality able to do the affection with Statik Selektah, actuality in the flat with him on his Population Control album. And then, obviously, the fizz about the BET Hip Hop Awards, so it’s kinda like aggregate hit at the aforementioned time.
AllHipHop.com: I was at the BET Hip Hop Awards a anniversary and a bisected ago and I saw you in the Cypher, and absolutely frankly, I anticipate you captivated your own aloft and above a lot of the guys and ladies in the Cypher this year. What’s a acceptable Christian boy like you accomplishing in the BET Cypher?
Lecrae: [laughter] Well, I’m absolutely Hip-Hop, and I’m absolutely Christian. I grew up in Hip-Hop, so it’s not a adopted ability to me; I’m not aloof visiting. I’m aloof somebody who’s aural Hip-Hop and believes in Jesus. I’m a absolute person, so I’m gonna be a hundred in aggregate that I’m about. Some bodies are about their gang, and they’re 100 percent abaft that. I’m about my faith. I’m 100 percent all-in.
AllHipHop.com: So, you’re “Team Jesus.” Are you advisedly aggravating to absorb the two genitalia of yourself – the rapper and the Christian man? Do they aloof appear to abide at the aforementioned time?
Lecrae: I anticipate it’s aloof natural. It’s funny because Bun B from UGK, he alleged me, and he said the aboriginal affair he best up on and said was, “You’re not aggravating to be a rapper; you’re not aggravating to be Christian. It sounds like you’re aloof affectionate of both of them. It’s aloof who you are.”
It’s like I don’t anticipate Lupe is aggravating to be all-embracing or intellectual. I anticipate he’s aloof an bookish rapper like that. It’s aloof who he is. For me, it’s like, aloof me.

AllHipHop.com: Well, I mentioned that I was in the admirers at the BET Hip Hop Awards, and aback you discharge your confined in the Cypher, I did the Jay-Z stanky face! Like I angry to my ally like, “Ugggh, whoa!” I thought, if this guy anytime absolutely takes off, there ability be some bodies out actuality who get ‘saved’ and didn’t apprehend they were about to! How abundant of your agreeable is airy against accustomed activity stuff?
Lecrae: I try to do a acceptable blend. I mean, everybody goes through agnate things. I anticipate we aloof attending for altered answers for our issues. I anticipate anybody wrestles with all kinds of struggles and hardships, and for me, I absolutely accept that God is the one actuality who can absolutely amuse us and get us through those things.
So, that’s why I’m consistently cogent the aforementioned stories; I aloof accept a altered band-aid every time. I’m absolute acute to people. I absolutely adulation people, and I appetite to let bodies apperceive that I’m not actuality to adjudge them or breach them down. I appetite to advice them, and cull them up, and point them in the appropriate direction.
AllHipHop.com: Well, personally, I anticipate you’re absolutely good. I haven’t heard a ton of your material, but what I accept heard and what I saw you do in the Cypher, I anticipate you’re on to something. A lot of people, including myself, ability say there hasn’t been a absolutely “Hip-Hop” Christian rapper until now, until you. Who afflicted you? Are there added Christian rappers that you can name that affectionate of paved the way for you?
Lecrae: Obviously, aloof actuality brought up in Hip-Hop and actuality an 80s kid, and watching TV in the 90s was an access on my life. You know, aloof actuality a kid, advancing home from academy and watching Yo! MTV Raps and Rap City on BET, you’re aloof influenced.
But, for me, it wasn’t until I was in Atlanta and I ran into this accumulation of bodies alleged Cross Movement. They were from Philly, and they was aloof some asperous Philly bodies with Tims and billowing jeans on and actuality like that. They were rapping for Jesus, and it was like wow, this is crazy. I had never apparent annihilation like that, and that’s what affectionate of put me on initially. I anticipate they absolutely paved some means for me, too.
AllHipHop.com: OK, well, I’m absolutely activity to analysis for them. A few weeks ago, I was at Statik Selektah’s abode interviewing him in the studio, and you were one of the names that he bragged about. He was so aflame to accept you on Population Control, which is a big pat on the aback to you, because the ability of artists that he brought calm on the album.
When you attending for your music, do you primarily go for civil DJs and producers because they’ve got that authentic Hip-Hop sound? Or, are there bodies aural the Christian apple who advice you with it?
Lecrae: I mean, for me, it’s absolutely about acceptable music. Obviously, you would adulation to affix with somebody from the exhausted to the final artefact on a airy level. That’s not consistently the case, but it’s about authoritative acceptable music for me and architecture relationships. So, you know, there’s guys who are authoritative absurd music who are Christians, like S-1 who does actuality for Jay and Beyonce’ and Kanye. For me, I’m not absolutely so abundant strung up on ‘are you a Christian DJ or producer?’ That absolutely doesn’t accept any bearings on my bulletin or music.

AllHipHop.com: For Statik in particular, why do you anticipate he fabricated abiding to acknowledgment your name aback he talked to me about the album?
Lecrae: Honestly, I anticipate there’s a alternate respect. I anticipate he aloof respects – which I ambition a lot of bodies in Hip-Hop would – he aloof respects talent. I told him it’s a God-given gift. He was like, “Yo, man, I account the gift. You absolutely are absolutely Hip-Hop, and you booty your ability seriously.”
I anticipate a lot of Christians haven’t done that in the past. Your aboriginal aftertaste of Christian rap is mostly like, ‘that’s wack,’ and I anticipate that’s sad. I anticipate we should be acceptable artists. So that’s affectionate of area I’m at with it, and I anticipate that’s what Statik felt. Aside from that, he’s aloof cool. We aloof affiliated on a lot of levels. He’s a acceptable dude in agreement of us abutting on the music, activity experiences, and so on and so forth.
AllHipHop.com: I would assumption that talking your affectionate of allocution is catchy to maneuver, abnormally in Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop’s really, heavily Black male-dominated. Aback I anticipate of the audience, maybe there aren’t a ton of churchgoers, maybe some. How do you accumulate the “swagger” in your music?
Lecrae: [laughter] Again, I anticipate it’s not alike article I accept to fake. It’s aloof authentic, man, it’s aloof who I am. I grew up in the culture, and there’s a lot of us out here. We’re attractive for places to congregate, you know? Places to accommodated up. So, you know, we developed little relationships and festivals, actuality where, you know, it’s bodies who are engulfed in Hip-Hop ability but are Christian.
It’s little but there are things like that activity on. For the best part, it’s my association who embraces who I am, and they’re not aggravating to achieve me into a choirboy with a bathrobe on or cutting apparel and ties. They account area I’m advancing from, and who I am. They don’t try to change annihilation about me.
AllHipHop.com: So, I accept maybe a boxy catechism for you, but a lot of ladies will be blessed if you acknowledgment this in a way that helps us out. My homegirls and I were aloof talking about Black men and how a lot of you won’t alike adventure into abbey and Christianity. Why is that? Does the Black man all-embracing feel like Jesus has bootless him? How can we get guys to see that admiring the Lord is cool?
Lecrae: Two things – I anticipate one is that the account of Jesus that has been portrayed historically has been this frail, weak, lamb-kissing Jesus with an “Ultra Perm.” [laughter] So, bodies aloof can’t get with that, you know? It’s affectionate of like, ‘that’s not a archetypal I appetite to attending after.’
Me and my label, Reach Records, we aloof did a activity alleged “Man Up,” and basically it tries to portray an authentic account of who Jesus was, and what the man looked like. You know, He was a carpenter, and He’s advancing aback cutting all white to defeat his enemies…a man with a boom on His side…King of Kings, Lord of Lords. So, if you appear to action with all white on, you’re a bad boy! That’s a account of the absolute king, the absolute Jesus.

The added affair is I anticipate that American Christianity in the burghal circles is absolute feminized. You don’t absolutely see a lot of adult roles or adult dudes. It’s mostly ladies and bodies that are feminine. So, it’s like, ‘what am I declared to do here?’ Should I sit actuality and sing these songs that are a little too girlie for me? It’s aloof not area we see ourselves, so until we get a altered account – that’s one of the things I would adulation to acrylic for people…a altered appearance of Christianity – that’s gonna be an issue.
We’re now seeing churches get men calm and do altered kinds of things, like action clubs, and activity on adopted trips, and jumping out of planes and landing in altered countries. You know, a little added adventuresome actuality and articulating our acceptance through Hip-Hop. I’m masculine. But until added of that happens, it consistently gonna be affectionate of like, ‘church is for girls.’ And, it’s REALLY not.
AllHipHop.com: I like that, Lecrae. So, by the time best bodies apprehend this story, they will accept apparent you in the BET Cypher, bistro up a few cats. There were some different examples this year of bodies who you wouldn’t anticipate would eat up added rappers – like you who isn’t begrimed or thuggy…and Chris Brown! He’s not alike a rapper! What’s abutting for you? Area can bodies see you next?
Lecrae: I’ll be traveling, and I’ll be on tour. Follow me on Twitter at @lecrae and on Facebook to accumulate up with me. But I’ll be traveling…me and my characterization are absolutely about to bout Africa. That’s article I anticipate a lot of Hip-Hop artists should do – go aback to the Motherland. So I attending advanced to accomplishing that. Accumulate your eyes peeled. You never apperceive area I ability appearance up.
AllHipHop.com: That Africa cruise sounds dope. I was absolutely in Africa a few months ago watching Kanye West achieve “Jesus Walks” in advanced of a army of 50,000 Muslims. Some of them knew the words, and they chanted ‘Jesus walks!!’
Lecrae: Wow!!!
AllHipHop.com: Yeah, it was powerful, so hopefully you’ll achieve a agnate appulse over there, and change some of their thoughts about Americans and Christians and Black men and all kinds of things. So, afore we blanket up…these are cool boxy times we’re active in. Bodies are accident money; they’re accident jobs. As things get worse, people’s accomplishments assume to be accepting worse. What’s your bulletin of hope, abnormally for burghal adolescent people?
Lecrae: I would say money is a tool. It’s not the answer. It’s not the end. It’s a apparatus to achieve goals and achieve things. Ultimately, God is the provider of the tool, so if you’re dupe in the provider, you don’t accept to anguish or assurance in the tool. The achievement I would accord bodies is that, at the end of the day, there’s no agreement on this ancillary of activity that aggregate is activity to go the way we appetite it to go.
God guarantees that those who assurance in Him will accept a achievement that lasts forever. You may not see it now, and He may not get you out of it, but He will get you through it.
