Amazing. this one Christian that I knew from prison told me the way to save people that are into sin such as a close relative on drugs, is to take yourself to THEIR environment and make yourself a "friend" as lecrae put it with E-40, but still follow your Christian values. Since then I have found myself in college studying with dope heads and NOT participating in the things they do, but letting them be them and I've made friends and established my Christianity to them and they respect it and I have a few in my church now. Take Christ with you and he will evangelize through you. I appreciate you with that question about the blunt and people cleaning up around you just because you're a Christian. Much love, can't wait for your album

Been rocking with Lecrae since I got saved in 09, dude is official

Almost 7,5 years ago I was affected by his music. I didn't believe in Jesus at the time. I was listening to "I'm praying for you" and "Don't waste your life". I was on the hip hop culture with my friends, we were freestyling, making some waterpipe, drinking, chilling... We had our own world of lyrics and music. We liked listening to all kind of different hip hop and rap styles. I started listening to Lecrae and he was not the only influence upon my life to lead me to Christ (my chritian friends prayed for me a lot and there were other elements that played it's role) but he played a big part in it. But it's interesting that almost 7 years ago in April I accepted the Life of Christ. Now I'm walking with Jesus, experiencing His tangible Presence every day, making some traslation works for the Kingdom, preaching the Gospel, healing the sick, teaching, exhortating, speaking Life into people's lives. And I still listen to some of his music, those interviews, teasers, trailers and all the other things influence me positively. I like to get golden nugets out of people, who share from God's Spirit of Wisdom. Isnt't that great testimony? Glory to the Living God! Thank You Jesus for Lecrae, his calling, his music, his devotion, boldness and humility! (Shout out to Lecrae, From Estonia!)

One of the most humble rappers

Sway's Intros of the artists are legendary lol Love it!

love how he literally just does his own thing and doesn't care what anybody else's expectations are of himself. He knows who he is and is gonna show it. Truly dope.

He is one of the only artists that has an album that I can listen to without skipping tracks

Ive been following lecrae since he was doing concerts outside and the fans had to help set up chairs...its crazy to see where hes at now....

This is probably the best INTRO for an artist that sway has ever said!

Sway is seriously THEE best hype man!! 🙌

freestyle starts at 20:20 you're welcome

It's crazy how B.0.B can say you'd never know Lecrae's a christian rapper by listening to him. If people are actually listening to the lyrics you'd know exactly what he's about. I guess people just ingest context without actually examining what they're intaking.

Always good to hear from Lecrae on here - Thanks Sway for making space for folks like Lecrae!

That was a short freestyle but damn his flow is smooth.

Crae has been my Dude for years. Started listening when I was in 12 grade, his music along with my faith has help me develop in a man. I keep wondering what is his expiration date and every time he drops some more timeless hits. Love

I just want to say believing in God and Jesus name it's not about religion it's about relationship and Lecrae keep doing your thing Bro God bless you in Jesus name

Thank you so much Sway for giving Christian rappers a platform to share their talents!We Love you and your Crew. @Lecrae keep being real and represent Jesus not religion. It ain't about laws but freedom from the law.We Love you and pray for you Crae. #FanSinceDay116+IamA4C

Great interview. Very encouraging and inspiring. 💯

bruh... he just drop that knowledge. that americhristianity piece is so true!

Crae said "maaan why you do this bro I aint got nothing I just-behcbwkdbwb" and started going in lol

That was raw holy shit

White evangelical here - not all of "us" are the same homie. At the end of the day, seek God's truth and stay humble. Blessings bro

Doesn't matter how many fingers he raps, it's still fire!

here early! lecrae the BEST!

God bless SWAY !

The first minute iz real and deep as fuk💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥

Favourite rapper ever! 116 for life!!

That beat, that beat, that BEAT!!!

The realness continues on Sway in the Morning! Lol Y'all going to have a hard time next year man. Y'all setting the bar extremely high this year. I am hope y'all prove me wrong.

Yooooooo! Goosebumps as soon as he started his freestyle

Aye that's in his new album! Love this man

wow Best Introduction ever!

I absolutely love this dude

Salute

best lecrae interview

We really need a freestyle battle between Dee 1 + Gemstones + Andy Mineo!

When I die. I hope to have a o bit the way sway gives intros

Lecrae wears a polo hat Fake Fans: you know that Ralph wasn't saved my brother LOLOL FAM!!!

I LIKE HOW SWAY DROPPED THAT 5 FINGERS

Yooo I can't wait for crae to finish off the last 4 fingers hahahaha

Here before Infinity

Yes be yourself

Anybody think the video was glitched during the second caller because they were sitting so perfectly still? Lol

Lacrea is BACK ladies and gentlemen

Wow I want that free style

that freestyle was soooooo live

Damn this dude is humble!

Lecrae performed 2 new unreleased songs "broke" & "never gone change" in a concert I went to and it's available in my channel.

if a category has to be chosen, I'd take that one for sure

That freestyle is better than most new rappers in the industry's albums.

wow! that americhristianity point was amazing!

*regardless of doctrine or faith, dude got bars. Word is HOV wanted to sign him back in the day*

Haha "aye, You mind if I hit this turtle up real quick?!"

Good interview. Now, let's get some NF in there. Dude literally at one point, was over Drake's Views in iTunes charts!!

Lecrae is the TRUTH

straight up , I detest the devil in my own life

lecrae was about too kill that mug at the end

Friendship with the world Is emnity with God!

finally a real rapper back on this bih I was bout to unsub until now but I do have to admit, I feel embarrassed for muh nigga that was disappointin

I'm gonna step out too. just because of that b word. in casual convo.

Didn't like much of the interview, it felt like they were doing the things he said NOT to do & act. Then they did it....loved Lecrae's answers & how he carried himself & shined the light on what he's REALLY ABOUT & he Knows he's a representation of GOD. Thanks for breaking the stigma & blessings to ya 😁

What up NUPE👌🏾

lecrae is a man of God

I remember the first time he was on Sway in the morning. And sway says "I hope you don't switch over" sway what do you think now?

anyone know the beat Lecrae was rapping to?

Yo anyone know the beat he was rapping to????

Who knows what that freestyle beat is called?

Lecrae a Christian, me too!

What beat is this?

sway should link up lecrae and vince staples

SWAY!! BRING DEREK MINOR ON YOUR SHOW! @thederekminor atleast let him freestyle he's amazing and he used to be on Lecraes label

Anyone know what beat he freestyled over?

Anybody know what beat that was?

Keep going after the lost, blind and prisoners

whats the name of the instrumental?

Jeez, with this intro. It's hard to believe he ain't got the answers!

Timothy Brindle is my favorite Christian MC wish they would dig deeper than Lecrae it's some nice cats out there.

We need to get NF on this

what beat did he freestyle to?

sway aint say an intro like that since los

yeah "you hear his music and i was like man! he goin in cant even tell he a christian rapper!!" -b.o.b. yeah really this is just like the book of acts 😒😒

Lecrae is a God himself !

What I see towards the end around 19:26 is that Lecrae is definitely having a positive influence on the people he is around. Look how the lady (sorry don't remember her name) and Sway advise the listener to pray about her situation.

Dang Crae fire still

I like this guy overall, he's been doing this for awhile and I've heard his stuff before growing up in the church. Some of his responses were sad to hear. Having a relationship with Jesus doesnt have anything to do with white people or any culture on this physical earth. It is solely the relationship that you have with Christ. This type of rhetoric is extremely divisive because it makes it seem like if your a Christian then your a slave to the white man. This mentality will keep you from the truth and I encourage anyone to seek Him, and not attach worldly issues to things of heaven. Good interview overall and wish him continued success

Some of the lyrics in the freestyle were later used in "Always Knew" aswell. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdd-is2Wtsm2dWg.html

Sway almost said its not because he sold his soul ;-)

19:47 I really thought Sway was about to talk about some deep shit lmao

I like dudes that can go in and not curse...like rakim

Can you get NF on sway?

Wow, why is Lecrae so nice and afraid to offend people? As Christians we are suppose to take a stand against Sin even if that means going against others, being judgemental is apart of Christianity, but most importantly we must all Self Reflect and seek improvement, . Also for Jessica, how is Christianity "the white mans religion", Christianity started within Jesus who was a Black man who lived in Isreal, and also composed of the Bible which shows us how to live righteously, how the hell is that "white"?

While I appreciate his attutide of openess I think it speaks volumes that BoB was like, I didn't know he was a Christian. I pray he is lead by God in all things.

when mike muse said that christian artists are condescending and judgemental, who is he talking about? i grew up on a lot of christian music and never heard any lyrics that were condescending and judgemental.

I love Lecrae but he should not follow that trail, that all gospel rappers are condescending.I hope he includes himself because not all CHH rappers are condescending. Lecrae please defend your brothers in the Lord bro thats your first family. Dont forget where you come from bro.But anyway big ups i love what u doing.

Lecrae on twice and still no NF? :(
