Multi Grammy-Award winning rap artist Lecrae has left an indelible mark in the world of music
and entertainment. His music explores universal topics that bind, challenging industry norms
with his faith-based rhyming style.
He emerged in 2004 with the release of his debut album, Real Talk, and launched his own label,
Reach Records. The perennial superstar has proved to not only be a gospel success, but he’s
also crossed over into hip-hop and fostered a global fanbase. He’s remained consistent and
staunch relevant throughout the 2000s, proven repeatedly with groundbreaking albums such as
Rebel (2008), the first Christian hip-hop album to reach #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums
chart; Gravity (2012), netting his first career Grammy; and Anomaly (2017), the first Christian
rap album to go gold. The last song on Anomaly, titled “Messengers” with for KING &
COUNTRY, earned Lecrae his second Grammy win (Best Contemporary Christian Music
Performance/Song). The LP also earned him his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.
2022 marked the arrival of Church Clothes 4, and the deluxe version, Church Clothes 4: Dry
Clean Only, arrived in 2023 – thus symbolizing the end of Lecrae’s popular mixtape series. In
2024, Lecrae began the year by adding two more Grammys under his belt – one for his Church
Clothes 4 project (Best Contemporary Christian Music Album) and the other for his “Your Power”
collaboration with Tasha Cobbs (Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song).
