Lecrae's first mixtape aimed at Mainstream

[TripleNineThree]

Lecrae's coming out with his first mixtape on May 10th that is aimed at the secular industry. The host of the mixtape is Don Cannon.

You can check out the first single and video from the mixtape here - http://www.xxlmag.com/bangers/2012/05/l ... ere-video/

What do you think about Christian rap?

You realize he has like 5 albums, right? lol. But yeah, should be good. Lecrae is diverse and amazingly talented. I've been listening to him since his first album. around 06.

Haha yeah I do, this is his first mixtape though and his first musical production specifically aimed at the mainstream. This is a quote from him about it - "This mixtape is aimed at the mainstream and is raw uncut hip-hop," Lecrae states. "This is totally different from my past releases and I hope can build a bridge between my current fans and create new ones."

I just hope he isn't selling out. Who knows. He's got so many different styles though. If he started mainstream, he'd be huge. He's much more talented (even in mainstream-esque music) than any artist out right now.

Haha yes sir there's Christian rap. You'll be suprised at his skill. He was also a part of the BET Cypher you can find the video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlyh_8MOu98

@Block - I don't think he's selling out at all, or at least based on the "Church Clothes" song I posted. He stays pretty Biblical and unashamed in it.
