Lecrae, who’s Reach Records recently signed a partnership with Columbia Records — is gearing up for a new album in 2017. The Anomaly rapper revealed that the new album has a theme of struggle, embracing the struggle, and finding grace in the midst of it. The rapper also revealed that singer Tori Kelly, makes an appearance on the album.
Lecrae revealed the theme of his upcoming album.
It will be out early 2017 (first quarter). There’s no name yet. I’m still processing. It’s definitely thematic. There’s a recurring theme of struggle, embracing the struggle, finding grace in the middle of it, and hopefulness through all of it. Whereas “Anomaly” was me saying I’m an outsider and I’m telling people that, this album is me just fleshing it out. I’m not going to convince you of it, I’m going to be it.
The rapper on who he’s been in the studio with, and who he can confirm is on the album.
I’ve been in studio with a lot of people — we recorded a lot of it here and some in L.A. — from Tori Kelly to Killer Mike to Tye Tribbett — but it had to be something that made sense and was authentic to the project. You’ll get to see every aspect of who I am.
He went on to confirm that Tori Kelly is definitely on the album.
I can confirm Tori Kelly. She’s a great friend. I look at her like a little sister. She was a fan of the music and we talked via social media and I came out to her concert and established a rapport. She’s very devout in her faith and an incredible artist. My wife (Darragh) and I kind of put our arms around her and said we’re here to help you in any way we can.
