CHH owes a lot to Lecrae. No, he isn’t an OG and stood on the shoulders of many preceding him, but he has done a lot to further the greater acceptance of rap in Christian music. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy, and at times full-on discouraging, but he has persevered across 10 albums spanning nearly 20 years and countless collabs. He helped crossover CHH into the mainstream, being the first to feature on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. In addition he’s brought up others with him helping spur them to higher heights. Without a doubt, He’s worth celebrating. So highlight/celebrate we shall!

That said…Full disclosure—I’m less qualified to critique or even comment on much of hip-hop and rap, but I know a banger when I hear one. These are my twenty-five personal favorite Lecrae songs ranked, with playlist linked at the bottom of the post for you to tune in while working out, cleaning, or in need of some pump-me-up jams.
