ThriveWire recently published an article by Scott Bedgood that called Grammy award-winning rapper Lecrae “The Most Influential Man In America.” Bedgood makes great points. He mentioned how Crae has the credibility to walk into the worlds of Christian and mainstream music, sports, politics, and more.

You will find a link to his story below.

Bun B, Kendrick Lamar, Big K.R.I.T.

Tim Keller, John Piper, Louie Giglio.

Bubba Watson, Justin Forsett, Steph Curry.

The first three: famous, critically-acclaimed rappers.

Keller, Piper, and Giglio? Well-known white pastors in their 50s and 60s.

Two-time Masters champion Watson, Baltimore Ravens running back Forsett, and newly-crowned NBA MVP Curry round out the group.

The only thing connecting this seemingly-disparate group together is the influence of the rapper Lecrae. Having the ear of everyone from world-famous rappers to pastors to athletes is why he is one of the most important and influential people in America.

Lecrae has the credibility in the rap world to sit in with The Roots on Fallon, to open for Kevin Hart at Essence Fest, the political clout to attend the White House Prayer Breakfast, and the credibility in the Christian world to perform at just about any church in America. In a country embroiled in racial, religious, and cultural tensions, Lecrae Moore might be the most influential man in America.
