Lecrae

I was first introduced to Lecrae's music when I a friend shared with me his new song "Don't Waste Your Life" off of his 2008 album Rebel. I instantly loved the music. I personally love this style of music; rap and hip hop, but I'd come to understand that culturally most rap was about getting drunk and other chasing of pleasures in this world. This music was the style I like but it held a wholesome and proclaiming message of the gospel. After hearing some of Lecrae I wanted more and I certainly wasn't disappointed with his release of Rehab in 2010 with tracks such as "Background," "God Is Enough," and "Boasting." Lecrae goes back to 2004 when he founded Reach Records and started the 116 Clique rap group with members like Trip Lee, Tedashii, and Derek Minor. (Their music is really good, too, but when I find myself rocking to a song it seems like its always by Lecrae or a song he's featured on.) 116 stands for Romans 1:16 which states, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jews first and also for the Greek." Lecrae's (and the other 116 guys) songs are focused around this verse. Lecrae's music is great. He has super fast paced songs with amped beats and slower rhythmic songs with amazing lyrics and rhymes. It is awesome to listen to all his songs but I found myself wanting to hear him in concert. My opportunity came earlier this year when Lecrae was featured on this years winter jam circuit. He rocked the stage with some of his newest songs from 'Gravity and Church Clothes, Volume 2.' On that stage I saw a man burning with passion to share the gospel with the world, as he hopped up and down with sweat running down his neck to "Tell the World and I'm Turnt." In the past year or so, I have been so inspired through this mans music. I listen to it all the time, as he preaches a different sermon with each verse. The flow of the speedy lyrics matching the perfect beat is tremendous. The words Lecrae puts into his songs are so meaningful. He doesn't waste a breath to proclaim the news of the risen savior.

Lecrae Devaughn Moore better known by his stage name Lecrae is a Christian rapper and producer who also founded independent label Reach Records. He has achieved both critical and commercial success with his blend of gospel hip hop having been awarded a Grammy award for his 2013 album 'Gravity'. The followup 'Anomoly' topped the charts in the US and Lacrae has found himself playing on larger and larger stages to more and more fans.

An artist who still appreciates the values of show, every detail of Lacrae's show has been meticulously planned from the stage layout, the accompanying musicians and the visual interludes. The overall effect achieved is one of high quality as the rapper performs a succinct and sharp live performance. Showcasing both his freestyle abilities along with his melodic vocals on 'Welcome To America', the crowd cheers are deafening at the finale.

Lecrae only disrupts the well planned show to talk about the influence of music and faith on his life and the hope that they have influenced the audience in a similar way. By the finale of 'Tell The World' the crowd is aware they have experienced a hip hop performance unlike any other.

This man is super passionate about his craft and it shows. No punt intended! He was so transparent and open. I believed that the majority of the people came for a "show", and in all reality it was not about that; the show was solely about Christ and experiencing His goodness. Angie was his backup singer and she was really good. She sang with all of her heart! There was a surprised artist there and the said artist were also there- 1k Phew and Aha Gazelle. They were also very chill and on fire for God. Go see the show!!! There were advocates for "Food For The Hungry" there where they eplained about how LeCrae have been working in Ugaunda on how to create substaintual living and working enviornments there (This movement is 26 countries strong!). I also appreciate the fact that there was an option to donate to the Childrens St. Jude Society on the AXS purchasing page. God bless Crae and his crew.

Lecrae rocks! I and my two adult daughters came with me. I have wanted to see Lecrae for years, it finally happened last night :-). My daughters also enjoyed Lecrae and the artists who also performed were awesome. I had come from work to getting ready for the concert. I became energized all over again at the concert. I would recommend Lecrae to anyone who enjoys good music. Thank you God for making talented artists like this. My hope and prayer is that Lecrae will continue to follow what God is calling him to do. It is definitely a encouragement to follow believers AND it encourages non believers to start the path to follow God.

Bro! This show was fire!! It’s my first hip-hop/rap concert, and it was not a disappointment. The vibe was consistent, but what was better is there was no compromise in truth. One of my friends was saying that it was such a cool thing to see. He’s going to be a pastor, and he was stoked that Christ was glorified unashamedly. He said even compared to his lost days, this concert was better performance-wise than the top rappers in the world. I would definitely go again!

Lecrae, Andy Mineo, and DJ Promote was a well polished and inspirational concert.
Amazing visuals and in your face music...Loved every aspect of it. The crowd was electric and all the artists brought it. Great new material and emphasis on providing a great experience for the audience. This is one of the best concerts in the country. You leave highly inspired and entertained.

Lecrae's concert was great. It was high energy. It had a lot of great ministry moments. And, as always Lecrae kept it "real." He always deals with in his testimonies and music things that every Christian struggles with. If I had to sum up his concert in one word it would be, AWESOME!

A great performance that delivered a strong message by someone who has been there. The sound program was the best I've ever heard.Congrats to Lecrea,all the entertainers and crew.We would like to have you back in the area very soon.

LeCrae is the most inspirational artist I've seen in the Christian Hip Hop industry.The concert was amazing! High energy with intense clarity. He has a must see show. Happy to see him in san diego and can't wait to see him again.

The concert was pretty awesome! My eleven year old thought it was amazing! Thank you !! All of the 116 Tour group were fantastic!! Prices for merchandise was very reasonable, energy was amazing and everyone had great music!
