Lecrae is a Christian by faith, but an emcee by trade. The Houston-native has received critical acclaim throughout the years with his music that’s a reflection of his life and relationships. Following the success of his Christian Albums No. 1 “Rehab” series, the man formally known as ‘Crazy ‘Crae” returned with his Don Cannon-hosted mixtape “Church Clothes” in early February and is currently prepping the release of his sixth studio album, “Gravity” (September 4).

Featuring appearances from Big K.R.I.T., ‘American Idol’ finalist, Ashton Jones, and ‘The Voice’ finalist, Mathai, “Gravity” finds the independent artist evolving within the current state of his career. Lecrae amped up the level of production for a stronger mainstream presence and mixed reggae and soul influences with his signature brash sound.

Though he’s seen mainstream success — peaking in the Billboard 200 top 20 and Rap Albums top 5 — he has no desire to impress or please anyone.”I have no need to impress because I’m already accepted by my creator,” he said during the album’s listening session in NYC on July 18.

Minutes after the “Gravity” listening, Lecare sat down with The Juice to discuss “Gravity,” his Big K.R.I.T. collaboration, Meek Mill’s “Amen” controversy, and more.
