Lecrae.

Lecrae is a christian hip hop and rap artist, entrepreneur, and record producer. 

He born and raised with his single mom in Texas, his grandmother carried him to the church but he was indifferent to the God´s things because he thought that it was for older people and that it isn't for him.
He never met his father, who ended up becoming a drug addict. For many situations he started to get involved with the rap music. And he turn to a life of crime and he get involved in a gangs world. 
At the age of 16 he started to take drugs, getting many problems. He dealt drugs. Also he was arrested for drugs possession.
He has a emptiness that nothing could fill up, the drugs, the alcohol, the parties, the womens just let him more empty
At the age of 17 he convinced that he was at a dead end, so he took the decision to go to the church for the influence of her grandmother, and he started to go to a bible study where he met her wife.
Finally at the age of 19 he desire to gave his life to God and live for him.
Five years later he teamed up with Ben Washer to found Reach Records, and he released his first album, Real Talk.
Right now he serves God and all his music has a message about God, and how he change his life, and that can change many lifes. :)
