“I’m excited to play new music for the first time,” he said in a press release. “I’ve worked with some of the most incredible artists over the summer, and I want to put some of that music on display.”
A Christian, Lecrae’s spirituality features prominently in his work, as he often quotes biblical verses and teachings on tracks. In his attempts to walk worthy he also raps about social issues and has engaged in activism promoting fatherhood and positive role modeling. He also wrote about racial issues in the U.S. during the unrest in Ferguson and after the shooting at Charleston church.
