Lecrae’s New Album “Rebel” Releases September 30th – Preorder Now!

When you think of a rebel, what do you think of?  I’m not talkin’ bout them dudes with the southern flag & pickup trucks – I’m talkin’ bout someone who is a rebel.  Do you think of Jesus?  

Back in tha 80’s there was a group called The Altar Boys who had a song called “When You’re a Rebel.”  Well, on September 30th, Lecrae from Reach Records (www.reachrecords.com) will be releasing his third album entitled Rebel.  If you don’t know who Lecrae is, lemme fill ya in.  This guy started rappin’ in prisons as a ministry and it eventually led to his own record label loved by rap fans worldwide (yep!  WORLDwide) called Reach Records.  This guy is a missionary and evangelist, spending time with Reach Life ministries and traveling around the globe to evangelize and train missionaries.  Yeah – he has his third CD droppin’ next month, buy this guy is not to be considered a professional rapper, but rather an Evangelist gifted to rap.  OH!  He definitely has skills, but his life and rap have more significance than tha here and now – more than cars and rims – more than girls and cash – It’s all for Jesus – The ultimate rebel!

Lecrae said, “It’s just another charge to the culture to say turn your backs on secular humanism, on sexual immorality, post-modernity and turn toward the Lord – turn toward Christ.  That’s the theme of the album.” Hot theme, hot beats and hot rhymes…all pointing back to the truth of Scripture and to Jesus.  What else would you expect from Reach Records?

Last month I took sum of my friends who are not really into rap to the Unashamed Tour in Rome, GA.  Even they were excited to see Lecrae perform.  But it wasn’t the performance that caught their attention; it was the sincerity of the lyrics and presentation of the Gospel.  YES – they loved Lecrae’s musik – but it goes waaaaaaay beyond that.

Anyway, right now you can check him out at www.myspace.com/lecrae and pre-order the new CD, Rebel, at www.reachrecords.com.  They even have a Deluxe Edition that includes a silver foil shirt, USB bracelet and die cut sticker.  So all you 116ers out there, get ready to be a Rebel!
