Atlanta, GA (October 31, 2019)
With the arrival of Kanye West‘s new album, Jesus Is King, Lecrae‘s socials were lit with fans, supporters, and media outlets requesting his reaction to Kanye’s latest release. He decided to set aside time from recording his 9th album offer his reactions to the album and also respond to questions about his support of Kirk Franklin‘s boycott of The GMA Dove Awards.

First Lecrae talked exclusively with Billboard offering his reaction to the album: “It [Kanye] sounds like a person who is excited about his new relationship with Jesus. I’m in support of that.” He also expressed hope that Kanye being explicit about faith in his music will allow other religious rappers to appreciate the spotlight on Jesus in places where they may not have previously had an audience.
