Grammy award-winning emcee Lecrae has a growing list of collaborations that include mainstream (artists not in CHH) heavy hitters like B.o.B, Chaka Khan, Big K.R.I.T, No Malice of the Clipse, Posdnous of De La Soul, Terminology, Statik Selektah and Don Cannon, among others. Lecrae’s influence on the mainstream market continues to expand as he gains more national exposure. With that being said, many are anticipating the second installment to his critically acclaimed mixtape series Church Clothes, a collection of tracks that were downloaded close to 500,000 times on DatPiff.com since its release.
Lecrae has continued to build relationships with some of Hip Hop’s best lyricist. The Christian Hip Hop community is buzzing about several big names that could possibly work with Lecrae one day. Here are 5 mainstream artists that “might” be on the forthcoming Church Clothes 2 and why.
Hopsin:
WHY IT MIGHT HAPPEN:
There are various interviews where Hopsin proclaims to have a relationship with God. He was seen with Lecrae and Andy Mineo at SXSW 2013, they have talked about doing music. When Jblaze of FNFLive interviewed Andy Mineo back in April, the Reach Records rhymer confirmed that Hopsin and Lecrae were building. Hopsin’s last two tracks (Ill Mind of Hopsin 5 & 6) did have curse words but contained a positive message, maybe we are witnessing spiritual growth.
