He asks if his success is from what he wears and what he produces in the booth? Because if those things make him successful he would be depressed because people don’t feel him “like they did in 04”. Next, Da TRUTH comes thru and examines himself and measures his success. Crae says he could give it up if he only knew Jesus completes him. But he is still insecure because Christ isn’t fulfilling him. Lecrae starts off by telling a tale about a dude who has almost everything cars, clothes, a nice crib, physical prowess. Take “Identity” for example, 3 stories in one song told by Lacrae, Da T.R.U.T.H. The strongest messages on Rebel comes from the many stories within it. Now as the Reach Records roster, ministry, and music catalog widens, Lecrae comes to further push the cross of Christ with this new CD. Or you will be bouncing, throwing your hands up, quoting you are a “F-A-N-A-T-I-C”. Music that will have you riding with your top down listening to some Jesus music. One thing that we know about Lecrae is that God has given him the ability to make great music. As long as Lecrae continues to speak to his peers on their own terms he’s bound to have more people listening.Reach Records front man Lecrae is back with his third album. Rebel is smart and passionate, but more importantly it doesn’t condescend to its target audience. Unlike most Christian albums, the music here is as authentic and heavy as anything on Young Jeezy’s last album, only rather than describe life in the trap house, Lecrae rhymes about life in the Lord’s house: “Already dead so forget my flesh,” he says in “Go Hard.” “I done been crossed over see the full court press / I’m a full court mess if the Lord don’t use me / Running from my trials thinkin’ everything’s groovy.” Rather than simply rattle off Bible verses, Lecrae analyzes stories from his personal experience, and shows the insecurity and unhappiness that lie just underneath the material excesses and self-pleasure of modern hip-hop culture. Rebel does a surprisingly powerful job of bridging those two seemingly incompatible worlds. As a devoted Christian, Lecrae’s primary goal is to glorify Jesus Christ, but as a believer in the power of Southern hip-hop, he wants to make the music that appeals to himself and his generation.
