Lecrae Talks Industry Agenda, ‘Church Clothes 4,’ and Freestyle

Lecrae opens up on Sway In The Morning to share his thoughts on the direction of the music industry, particularly how it often promotes negative, low-vibrational music while sidelining more positive, uplifting content. He voiced his concern that the industry has strayed far from the foundational principles of hip-hop, which was built on self-expression, empowerment, and social awareness. Lecrae pointed out that the industry often prioritises commercially successful negative music over songs with a deeper, more meaningful message.

In the conversation, Lecrae also touched on his latest music project, Church Clothes 4, a mixtape that explores darker and more personal struggles he has been dealing with. The album reflects his ongoing journey of growth, faith, and self-discovery. Despite his success, including Grammy wins, Lecrae made sure to showcase his raw skills by delivering a powerful freestyle, showing that he is still a powerful presence in the rap game.
