These are many good tracks on this album, but these are 5 highlights. The intro is a great snippet from John Piper I believe. Lecrae’s sound would be at home on any hip hop radio station, christian or secular.Īnother thing that was a first for me was that this album had snippets of sermons from different pastors. This was the first Christian Hip Hop album that I heard that sounded just like the secular hip hop on the radio. Listening to Rebel was great Biblical teaching and storytelling all in one. He also discussed a number of apologetics topics that I’d never heard of before. Lecrae started the trend to have the songs be less sermons and more stories that pointed to God.Īt this point in his career, Lecrae was still quoting a lot of Bible verses in his rhymes. This was when Christian Rap was largely sermons rapped. This album put Lecrae on the map and was one of my early favorite hip hop albums that honored God. I considered Lecrae the Jay-Z of Christian Hip Hop, and Rebel was his classic album.
