CHRISTIAN RAPPER LECRAE REACTS TO KANYE ALBUM AND TALKS DOVE AWARD BOYCOTT

Lecrae spoke with Billboard offering his reaction to the album:
“It [Kanye] sounds like a person who is excited about his new relationship with Jesus. I’m in support of that.”
He also expressed hope that Kanye being explicit about faith in his music will allow other religious rappers to appreciate the spotlight on Jesus in places where they may not have previously had an audience.
He also took to his Instagram Live explaining why he’s joined with other Gospel artists in standing with Kirk Franklin who announced that he’s boycotting The GMA Dove Awards.
