Hi Elegant Readers,
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. In Missouri, the air is cool and crisp. I heart fall and winter, two of my favorite seasons.
Gotta give props to my brother in Christ, Lecrae, who is blowing up the charts.
I pre-ordered and downloaded Lacrae’s latest album, Anomaly via I-Tunes. It is has a refreshing sound and is deep with its messages. For the few who does not know, Lecrae is a Christian rap and hip-hop artist who is not ashamed of speaking about his faith in God. The Anomaly album recently debuted at Number One on the Billboard Charts and continues to be a huge seller. Even if you are not a lover of rap and hip-hop, I urge you to take a listen to this album.

A number of the songs were available to be downloaded from I-Tunes before the official release, so I was able to get a taste of its sound before the full album was released in September.

Sharing a Lecrae video below. This is the video from the song, “All I need Is You.” Got a keep it real, being married and putting God as center is cool.
The album has a true message that is more than the music. Throughout the entire album, Lecrae is open about his life and faith. His music, some would say, is Christian gone mainstream. However, I believe that his messages appeals to Christians and non-Christians. He does it without compromising his faith in God. I do not believe that Lecrae has gone mainstream. Instead, I believe that mainstream music has finally come to Lecrae. His music, through all of his albums that he has released so far, has consistently shared the same message about his strong faith in what God has done for him in his life.

Show Me State peeps, Lacrae is coming to the Independence Events Center in Independence, MO on October 25th. Get your tickets because I know it will be an awesome show.
I first saw Lecrae at WinterJam in January 2014. My husband wrote a post about that concert here. The Summer Shed Tour happened in May and my post about that concert is here. Both concerts were awesome and fun.
