Album Of The Day: Restoration by Lecrae

Album Art of Lecrae's Restoration album - Photographed from below, it's a photo of a black man with a green jacket and a bare chest standing in the sunlight and looking up towards the blue sky. His head is slightly back and it looks like he's savoring the moment. He's got a bit of facial hair and stubble and short, dark hair, plus a gold chain around his neck.

Released 5 years ago today, this is the ninth and latest album (until tomorrow) from Lecrae. He's been making rap for 20 years and not happy with the label of "Christian rapper" for probably just as long. Though he tried to share the Gospel via rap on his early albums, he spends a lot more time just talking about life. Sure, there's a bit of Gospel if Kirk Franklin is speaking a word, but it's mostly rap with a very accessible pop sound. Lecrae even got John Legend to sing vocals on "Drown" too. I also love "Set Me Free" with its bed of the Mary Mary track "Shackles" too. This album is a great collection of songs and it's maybe not his best album, but it's sold. Looking forward to check out his latest music with a new album releasing tomorrow!
