Gospel Rapper Reaches the Top

Many people who listen to secular rap consider gospel rap as corny or lame. We should let the charts do the judging. The number one Gospel album belongs to a rapper, not a choir or a contemporary Gospel group. Lecrae's new album, "Rebel" is an highly anticipated album. Lecrea is a Reach Records recording artist and Dove Award Nominee.

He recently released Rebel his third project on September 30th and in no time apeared on iTunes's Top Rap/Hip Hop Album chart in the No. 3 position just below T.I.'s "Paper Trail." It won't be long before we see more Christian Rappers rank along side high caliper secular rappers "Rebel" also claimed Billboard's No. 8 position on the Top Rap Album mainstream chart as well as the No. 3 position on Billboard's Top Christian & Gospel Album chart.

Lecrae is proof of that we should pay attention to Christ-centered Gospel rap. Lecrae is also the President of ReachLife Ministries, a ministry that does alot of outreach not justin the United States but Internationally.

My children and I really enjoy he is most recognized hit singles 'Jesus Muzik' and 'Prayin For You' which are on his earth shattering sophomore CD, "After The Music Stops" which debuted in 2006 . Two years later, and his sophomore album is still in demand. It holds the number 5 position on Billboard charts and is on the Top Christian Ra//R&B charts as the number 3 album.

For Lacrae, Gospel rap is not an alternative to secular rap. He's on a mission to spread the gospel by calling everyone to live an unashamed life for the Lord. Although Lacrae is busy touring, he still continues to serve and disciple at his local church.

This project can be purchased in your local Wal-Mart store or by going On-line and visiting www.ReachRecords.com or www.myspace.com/Lecrae .

I've heard a few singles on his myspace page and I was really blessed. It think God is using people like Lacrae and artist on Gospel Elevations to impact those who listen to rap music. Gospel rappers are not like secular rappers, they are ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
