Outspoken Christian and rapper, Lecrae, says his ascent to the top of mainstream music charts like the Billboard 200 and being recognized with Grammy awards for his work has little to do with his talent and more to do with God’s plan for his life.
“I don’t have [the talent or crossover appeal],” said Lecrae in a recent interview with Christian rap site Rapzilla about his friend Kendrick Lamar’s critically-acclaimed album “To Pimp A Butterfly”.
“I don’t accredit any of this to just my capability or talent. I think God is doing something far beyond my comprehension. So I don’t understand it. I don’t try to make a science out of it,” added the rapper whose latest album “Anomaly” became his first number one album on the Billboard 200 last summer.
The rapper who is currently on “The Anomaly Tour” also talked about other “overtly Christian” artists he believes have the potential to break out in the mainstream music market.
“There’s guys who are way better than me,” he said. “There’s guys who are more talented and more disciplined than I am. But for whatever reason God is using it. But I hope that more guys are able to infiltrate culture and have unique platforms. My ambition is to create room for more artists to shine light in a dark world.”
Lecrae believes every artist on his Reach Records label like Trip Lee, Tedashii, KB and most notably Andy Mineo have the ability to crossover into the mainstream.
