Few folks outside Lecrae’s sizable fanbase are privy to the rapper’s impressive canon. 41-years-old, a three decade veteran of the biz, the man’s got lots of wisdom. On the new ‘Restoration,’ he gives, and tries to take, a bit of advice. “Self Discovery” explores personal identity, ruminating on things that obscure one’s true self. In it, he compares the impact of the slave trade on his family’s African ancestry with the insidious fallout of a non relationship with his father. Here Lecrae’s lyricism shines like that of a seasoned preacher, turning tragedy into trauma, and first-person experiences into universal concepts. Shot in Atlanta at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, this performance takes on even deeper meaning. If you’re in need of a little gospel these days, you’ve come to the perfect pulpit. ~Lecrae~
