As long as Lecrae continues to speak to his peers on their own terms he’s bound to have more people listening. His third solo album, Rebel, released in 2008, became the first Christian hip hop album to reach No. Rebel is smart and passionate, but more importantly it doesn’t condescend to its target audience.
Unlike most Christian albums, the music here is as authentic and heavy as anything on Young Jeezy’s last album, only rather than describe life in the trap house, Lecrae rhymes about life in the Lord’s house: “Already dead so forget my flesh,” he says in “Go Hard.” “I done been crossed over see the full court press / I’m a full court mess if the Lord don’t use me / Running from my trials thinkin’ everything’s groovy.” Rather than simply rattle off Bible verses, Lecrae analyzes stories from his personal experience, and shows the insecurity and unhappiness that lie just underneath the material excesses and self-pleasure of modern hip-hop culture. Albumul a fost nominalizat la categoria cel mai bun album Rap / Hip-Hop la cele 40 de premii anuale GMA Dove Awards, dar a pierdut în faa grupului 1 Crew s Ordinary Dreamers. Albumul a fost lansat de Reach Records pe 30 septembrie 2008.
