For the typical music fan, Lecrae's hard demeanor and crunk beats might belie what his lyrics are really about, his adoration of Jesus Christ. The main tenet influencing his mission and music is taken from Romans 1:16 of the Bible, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel." Although he was born on Houston's south side, Lecrae grew up in Denver, CO, and San Diego, CA. It was at the age of 19 that he decided to give his life to Christ. Using conventional methods to spread the Gospel, he has worked for ministerial services, including his presidency of ReachLife Ministries, conducting Bible studies and many other projects. However, Lecrae's success has come from his up-and-coming Christian rap career. In 2005, on Reach Records, he released his debut album, Real Talk, and as a part of the 116 Clique, he put out 116 Clique: The Compilation Album. The following year, Lecrae dropped the acclaimed After the Music Stops in July. It debuted at number one on the Christian Music Trade Association's R&B/Hip-Hop chart and peaked at number five on Billboard's Gospel Albums chart. ~ Cyril Cordor, All Music GuideMore

You're on track with this! "Death Story" is the street movie that I've seen played out too many times in my life. Those who survived have sad many of the words that you've thrown out there. I only hope your lyrics stick to many of the knuckle heads out there who still haven't learned. This is their wake up call! That line "I don't know whether to call him Christ, Buddah or Muhammad", dude that's some serious weight especially with what's going on in today's world and should make a person think. That "hard time breathing" part, perfect for this song along with "World full of lies...." how true. And many can relate to being terrible fathers and horrible sons". Man, you're way ahead of your time. Your ish is so deep that it's going to scare people. But it's "The Truth" and this is what people need. Thanks for sending this to me!
