Lecrae made history with his brand-new single "All I Need Is You" this week, becoming the first Christian hip-hop artist of all time to ever reach the number-one spot on iTunes...
""I think it's phenomenal to make music that challenges people to think on morality, spirituality and the betterment of society. Many people do that. Some sing country or jazz - I rap. At the end of the day I'm not here to hold up the banner of a genre. I am here to hold up the banner of Truth. It's way bigger than genres and charts. I'm fighting to be a voice in culture. A voice in a dark world."

Hardly counts as a Christian song when it could just as easily be sung to the guy’s AA sponsor. Lyrics:
(All I need is you)
By my side, thick and thin
Highs and lows, don’t let go
We gone ride, we gone win
Don’t know how, all I know
(All I need is you)
Keep me in my timezone when my mind’s gone
When I’m flyin’ home
And I’m stressed out and I’m tempted to get that styrofoam
And go pour it up, but you know what’s up
And you know that ain’t gone solve nothin’
I mean Lord forbid I might fall or somethin’
And I’m all or nothin’ cause (all I need is you)
To hold me down like bed straps to the psych ward
It’s killing me but you still with me when I fight hard
And (all I need is you)
You digging me when I’m igging you
Get with me when my cars pulled
Coulda dealt with me but you fell for me ‘for I fell for you
To keep me on that right path and the right math
Cause you plus nothin’ is everything
You my everything, saying
(All I need is)
You, ain’t gotta question my allegiance
Cause the way you love me I could never leave ya, I need ya
Hopefully it will be on a cd where other songs actually mention His name, Savior.
I think in the totality of his work and in his personal life, etc. his Christianity is evident.
This song is a snapshot of that, not a full revelation.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Imma talk about faith
Imma talk about Christ
Imma talk about life
Cuz’ I want to
Change my life I ain’t lost my sight
I been on the same things since ‘02
And that’s real talk
That’s plumline
That’s UNT
My soul’s rocked
And my life changed
I’m free indeed
- “My Whole Life Changed”
You are correct. Pretty stupid lyrics, too.
