“I don’t Know If I’m Making Another Full-feature Album.” Says Rap Veteran, Lecrae On Possible Retirement From Music
Written by Heartsong Live on 30th July 2020
Reach Records founder and world-renowned hip-hop artist Lecrae revealed that his latest full feature album, Restoration, due for release soon might be his last
The popular Christian entertainer was a guest on Rapzilla’s “Community During Chaos” Instagram live session on Tuesday alongside artists Coop and CJ Luckey.
During the interview, Lecrae spoke of Black Lives Matter, the “White Blessing” incident, the LGBT community, and his new album and book.
“I’m a prophet. I’m going to say what’s true,” Lecrae said, speaking of his tendency to advocate for what he believes. “Whether that’s ‘send me, I’ll go,’ whether that’s rebel, rebel against the culture, whether that’s equality, whatever it is I’m going to be about that.”
“That’s always what I’m going to be on so who knows what it’ll be in the next season of my life but that’s where I’m at right now.”
“Restoration, I mean, honestly, everybody says it’s the best album ever made, but this is for real. And this might be it for me,” Lecrae told Rapzilla. “I mean I’ll probably do some mixtapes, but I don’t know if I’m making another full-featured album.”
“So it might be it, we’ll see, that’s kind of how I’m feeling.”
The rapping veteran said his reason for considering music retirement is because he wants to make for other young artists coming up in the ranks.
“It’s a younger generation right now man, so you know, I feel like I may give them another Church Clothes and close a chapter out,” he said. “There’s some new blood out here and I just want the new blood to come and do their thing. So Restoration feels like, ‘Yo, here it is.’ I don’t know [but] that’s how I’m feeling.”
After several delays, due to COVID-19, Restoration is due to release in the near future. His latest single “Drown,” featuring mainstream artist John Legend was released this month.
