Lecrae blogged about his new upcoming release entitled “Rehab” due out September 28th. Its gunna be HOT!! Pre-Order yours from Amazon NOW
When I recorded my first album, “Real Talk,” I was just throwing my voice out into the wilderness hoping someone, somewhere, heard basic biblical theology wrapped in common language. I wanted to see people commit their lives to Jesus Christ.
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.
My platform grew and so did I as a Christian. I was dedicated to serve the body of Christ and see people come to know the Lord. I knew from my daily interactions with people from all walks of life that the way people saw the world needed to be changed, as well as the way people viewed God and themselves. I felt the weight of people saying to conform to living the way most of the world did. This view was unbiblical and only hindered people from truly experiencing the grace and goodness of God, so I challenged them to REBEL.
Now I’m a little older and a little wiser. I can see the mistakes people will make before they make them. I can see not only the fruit of their mistakes, but also the root of their mistakes. Many times we want to attack the behaviors or the external problems in our lives and never realize the cause of those problems are internal and spiritual. Anger, depression, addiction, discontentment are all ills that plague us. Many times, we not only try to fix the effects of these things instead of tackling the cause, but we also don’t think God and His Word have any hope or solutions for them.
Out of a burden to help and also confess my own struggles in this area, I am releasing “REHAB” on September 28, 2010.
The work has been a process, and the title almost didn’t make it once I heard another artist was releasing an album called “Recovery,” but it made too much sense to not move forward with it. My prayer is that people will not just gain practical insight for their lives, but they would find real sympathy from myself and mostly in the High Priest who sympathizes with us–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, with my offering of music. God bless and I hope you like it, but mostly, I hope it points people to JESUS
I just like the valuable information you supply for your
articles. I’ll bookmark your weblog and check again right here
regularly. I am somewhat certain I’ll be informed lots of new stuff proper here!
Best of luck for the following!
It’s not my first time to pay a visit this web page, i am browsing this website dailly and obtain pleasant facts from here every day.
I love the songs and am so looking forward to hearing you this coming Saturday nite.
My little nephew (5) sings your songs! His favorite…Identity!

First and foremost, I’ll like to say that I’m trully inspired through what God is doing through you. For the bible says, “Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. I haven’t heard any of your albums in it’s entirely; but I’ve heard that track “Don’t want to waste my life”, and instantaneously loved your message of “HOPE”. Can’t wait to purchase “REHAB”. God Bless, and may the favor of God continue to be upon you!

Is inspired by all of the music that reach records have allowed you to release to us. I also saw that you all were comming to Little Rock, AR. I pray that this will be God’s will. We love what God is doing through your music and would love to hear God speak through you in our area…..We need it! God Bless.
Awesome!!! im so excited. i love your music Lecrae. you really inspire and challenge me. thank you. and i looked at the Unashamed tour dates. you’re coming to Little Rock, AR on october 20? that’s awesome! hopefully my mom will let me go.
I just gave two of your CD’s to a girl I am mentoring at a children’s home here in Denton. She has been loving it, and has been asking me more questions about Jesus. It’s amazing how music can be a catalyst to help people open up and hear the truth! I praise God for what you are doing.
Lecrae,
I find your music to be ‘the’ only Christian music that delivers truth that so many people yearn and search for. I met Paul Washer, who openly supports your music and message, and his mentioning of your music inspired me to listen for myself. You have inspired me and every time I listen to your music my fire for Jesus is reignited. Your feet are truly blessed for carrying God’s word to a dying world. I look forward to getting your new album. Thank you for speaking boldly for Christ and I wish you the best.
I’m so glad he’s coming out with a new album!! I’m a rapper myself and am just now getting into making my own Christian rap music. It’s been a very long journey just to grow into the man i am and get to the place i’m at, and Lecrae’s music along with other members of the 1-1-six and reach records have played a major role in me finally dedicating my life to Christ. I hope my music eventually has the same effect on others that Lecrae’s has had on me. I STILL listen to REBEL every single day.
thank you. if you ever sit and ask yourself whether you have done anything of eternal value for the kingdom of Christ may this testimony of a christian miles away be a source of encouragment. you have been a great blessing. i pray the Lord keeps you and blesses you so much more as you continue in the great commission.
Listening to Christian rap has really changed my life! I have been in a Christian home my whole life but of corse i struggle and listen to your music and all the Christian rapper i listen to (Trip Lee, Tedashii, K-Drama, Sho Baraka, KJ-52, TobyMac, Flame, Grits, and on and on) has really help me with my walk and over coming the struggles in my life! leacrae i just love Rebel and the powerfulness in each song and how much each song no matter what God is first! I pray that some of the struggles i deal with and you have in your songs i hope that i can over some them at time i feel i have and then fall again but i know God is always with me and i know that i love him with all my heart and he loves me also. so i just want to say thank you for your music and every Christian rapper! God Bless! im hoping i can come to one of your Concerts! from PA – Downingtown!!
ps: FANATIC!! favorite song!!!
Lacrae, I love your music and believe that what you are doing is God. My only question is “can you do what you do without attaching the word (hip-hop) to it”? As you may know, hip-hop stands for a lot of things “that are not God”. If you are not able to separate it from what you do, please help me to understand why. Blessings….
bro, i don’t mean to simply give u props coz am online but i wanna say that u are such a wonderful souljah of Christ. i dearly and passionately love yo muzik. u are my best artist! i have no doubts about that. your muzik has kept some of us going here in Uganda where christian hip is not popular. i love u bro….how i wish u could get to Uganda, Africa
Thank You Lecrae for standing up and not being ashamed of the Gospel. I consider you to be one of the best Christian Rappers of all time. As as a Christian who used to struggle with worldly music, thank you for answering the call and providing great alternative christian music.
Just wanted to say “Thanks” for answering the call. You have influenced my household starting from my 2yr old through 15yr old up to my husband. Your work is anoited and will not return void. Keep Christ first and “Let’s Go!” Love you guys much and still hoping you will bring a concert to the New Orleans area —- we sooooo need it. JIL: Jesus Is Lord!
