Lecrae Releases His Memoir – Unashamed
TBR–NEW YORK, May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Memoir “Unashamed,” out now, documents the rise of two-time Grammy winning hip-hop artist, cultural icon and community activist despite a lifetime of adversity – childhood abuse, drugs and alcoholism, a stint in rehab, an abortion, and an unsuccessful suicide attempt. The book is available in-stores an online at popular retailers such as Amazon and iTunes.
Lecrae celebrated the release of his memoir with a signing at Barnes & Noble, Tribeca location, at 97 Warren St (between Greenwich and West Streets) on Tuesday, Mayrd.
Along his pilgrimage, Lecrae attained an unwavering faith and began looking to God for affirmation. Now as a chart-topping music industry anomaly, he has learned to silence the noise and make peace with his craft. The hip-hop star holds nothing back as he divulges the most sensitive details of his life, answers his critics, shares intimate handwritten journal entries, and powerfully models how to be Christian in an ever-growing secular age.
This is the story of one man’s journey to faith and freedom. And Lecrae dives deep into territory considered taboo for such an artist.
