Some are wondering who is the guy in the # 3 position on the Itunes charts only preceded by 2 others. The # 2 position was held by Kenny Chesney and # 1 by Lil Wayne. People all over the world are wondering who is this guy and where did he come from. His name is Lecrae he is a Christian rapper from Houston, Texas and this is actually his third Solo album. He is part owner of the record label Reach Records and he has other artists who have also made great debuts on the Itunes charts (i.e. Trip Lee & Sho Barracka). Lecrae is not your average rap artist, on the day that he released his album he was actually in Sudan catering to the people there who are in constant warfare. He stated, "Therefore, at the height of my new album REHAB, I plan to be in Southern Sudan. Sudan has been obliterated by war for so long, resulting in over two million casualties."Yeah this is definitely not like your average rapper who would be constantly checking the sound scan, twitter, facebook, and Itunes to see what the stats are. Along with a great fan base, word of mouth, a rehab logo, radio ads, and viral marketing Lecrae has made quite a debut with the project titled "REHAB". This is a great milestone for urban Christian media and will continue to break barriers for other artists.
