If you missed it, Lecrae did a rap at the BET awards a few months back.\u00a0 He participated in a \u201ccipher,\u201d a kind of freestyle session, with a bunch of other up-and-coming rappers<\/a>.\u00a0 Watch the video; it\u2019s hard to deny his talent, and the way he boldly witnesses for Christ is inspiring.<\/p>\n

By the way, I just did a couple breakout sessions with Flame, a very popular and gifted Christian rapper, at Southern Seminary\u2019s REKNOWN conference.\u00a0 We talked all about Christian rap with standing-room-only groups of teenagers, and the sessions were really fun.\u00a0 Flame\u2019s new album is out, and it sounds great.\u00a0 I also met Young Noah, a new artist on Flame\u2019s label, Clear Sight Music.\u00a0 You can hear tracks from Flame\u2019s new record<\/a> and download Noah\u2019s free mixtape here<\/a>.\u00a0 Flame and Young Noah are each locked in on Christ, and they\u2019re a lot of fun to boot.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
