Lecrae Releases ‘Church Clothes 4’ To Conclude Long-Running Mixtape Series-
Lecrae is having a full-circle moment as he’s released the fourth installment of his Church Clothes mixtape series.
The last of his long-running mixtape series features 14 songs lead by “Spread The Opps” and followed by “Fear Not.”
“I’m a child of hip-hop. I grew up with rap music, and God transitioned and transformed me when I became a believer! After that, people felt I didn’t belong in hip-hop anymore,” the Houston native said of his famed mixtape series via a press release. “The Church Clothes mixtape series helped them understand there’s a place for artists like me. If Wu-Tang can spit the 5 percent gems, Kendrick can talk Hebrew Israelites, and Ice Cube and Lupe can declare their Islamic faith, why is there no space for Christian hip-hop artists? So, the first Church Clothes (released in 2012) was about me getting mine off and spitting what’s in my heart.”
