Lecrae on the Tonight Show & Worship Band Hillsong Appears on the Today Show!
Lecrae Moore, aka- “Lecrae” a hip-hop artist with Christian faith and values has emerged as a new artist in the world of not only Christian adult contemporary music, but also in the secular realm of music in Hip-Hop. Lecrae, in affiliation to the 116 Clique (the crew of rostered artists based on Romans 1:16) and Reach Records has made cultural impacts. I see the Lecrae’s, Tedashiis, the Andy Mineos, and the Trip Lees as the warriors in God’s army fighting a cultural and spiritual battle and furthering the vision of what God is doing in Hollywood, or what I call, “Holy-wood.”
Lecrae was not only nominated for Grammy awards, (Winner of Best Gospel Album) but was nominated for 3 Grammy Awards. Not only has risen to the top of not only the Christian music charts but also the Billboard Charts, but he has appeared on Television shows such as “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (twice). Lecrae appeared on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,” once for his album, ANOMALY (that reached #1 on the charts), to perform, and a second guest appearance on the show for another segment on “The Tonight Show” in 2015. (www.nbc.com) On the 2015 performance, Lecrae joined DJ Promote for his “Welcome to America” remix. Go to “THE TONIGHT SHOW” website to view the performance. #LecraeonFallon #WelcometoAmerica @Lecrae
