Feb 4, 2017
"Blessings" featuring Ty Dolla $ign is the newest single to drop from the Christian rapper, Lecrae. The single was produced by Mike WiLL Made-It and released through Columbia. The track is about gratitude and focusing on blessings rather than misfortune.
"I get to change the narrative a little bit, let people see some of the behind-the-scenes of what I mean when I say it and my perspective," Lecrae says. "My thing is just like I always tell people before you complain, be grateful you got breath to complain with, just appreciate the little things. Just the small blessings that you just have. You woke up, you can walk and you're alive. We lost people last year, so just all those little things."
Lecrae started his journey as a Christian hip hop artist in 2004 when he released his debut album, "Real Talk". He has released seven studio albums to date; most of which were self-produced. His most successful album, "Gravity" was released in 2012 and earned the title of the most important album in Christian hip hop history. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards.
