Lecrae Reveals Top 5 Favorite Emcees, Addresses Jay-Z and the Illuminati
Hip-hop star and dedicated Christian Lecrae is enjoying an exciting year after releasing his first mainstream mixtape titled "Church Clothes" and new album Gravity which reached the number one spot on iTunes this week. The Christian Post recently had the opportunity to speak with him and found out what other rappers inspire him and what he thinks about the secret society known as the Illuminati.
Q: How do you feel about Christian hip-hop's presence on mainstream radio?
Lecrae: Radio is the same any way you look at it. It caters to an audience and until there's a demand for [Christian hip-hop] they are going to try to make money. Right now, Christian radio caters to 30-45-year-old moms. That's the music that's being made and that's the way things are being structured. Until that changes, that's going to be what we hear on the radio. They don't play my music on the radio, but I don't think that excuses us from being proactive and starting radio shows and doing internet stuff and finding new creative ways to do stuff instead of depending on the established things that are already there.
Q: Do you think some churches are still having issues with accepting Christian Hip-Hop?
