Gravity

          Lecrae is one of the most recognizable and famous rapper in the hip hop world. He's a Christian rapper who speaks the truth no matter what. Slowly but surely Lecrae, through his ability, has brought up other Christian rappers. Lecrae owns his own recording company called Reach Records. He's come out with 6 albums on his own and one mix tape. Some of the big names he has brought up is KB and Trip Lee.

          His newest album, gravity, is definitely one you should buy. The meaning behind the name of his album is the "weight" or serious of life. In this album Lecrae featured both secular and Christian artists in his music.

List of all the songs-
1. The Drop (Intro)
2. Gravity feat. J.R.
3. Walk with Me feat. Novel
4. Free From It All feat. Mathai
5. Fallin’ Down feat. Swoope and Trip Lee
6. Fakin’ feat Thi’sl
7. Violence
8. Mayday feat Big K.R.I.T. and Ashthon Jones
9. Confe$$ions
10. Buttons
11. Power Trip feat. PRo, Sho Baraka and Andy Mineo
12. Lord Have Mercy feat. Tedashii
13. I Know
14. Tell the World feat. Mali Music
15. Lucky Ones feat. Rudy Currence

             Gravity was a follow up to his mix tape Church Clothes, his album Rehab, and his album Rehab: The Overdose. Gravity reached the top five album on Billboard's top rap albums, number 1 on the top gospel, Christian, and independent albums, and number 17 album overall. Lecrae said in an interview that he started writing the album in February and finished in the middle of the year, then took a couple months to record it. A few people from the album include American Idol season 10 winner, Ashton Jones, and the Voice finalist, Mathai.

            Through this process an article came out called "Is Lecrae and T.I. similar to Kanye vs. 50 Cent?". This argument came because both Lecrae's and T.I.'s album were due to be released on the same day. Both the artists live in Tennessee and both are up close to the top as front runners for their two different ideas behind for rap.
