Album Of The Day: Church Clothes 3 by Lecrae

Album Art of Lecrae's Church Clothes 3 album - A black and white photo of a black kid standing on the front of a vintage, early 1900s car's bumper and sitting on the edge of the hood. He's also in a vintage coat with a vest and pants of a lighter shade and a white shirt and dark tie underneath. The car is sitting on cement near a wrought-iron fence and there's trees in the background. Where the large front grill is, printed in front of it is the artist name and album title in a somewhat decorative font in a light grey color.

Released 10 years ago Thursday, this is the third in a series of "mixtape" albums from Lecrae that feature a bit less production and bit more freeform rapping than his normal albums. Lyrically, he does take a bit of time to defend himself from his critics, which is pretty common for an experienced hip-hop artist, but he also works to educate his listeners. "Gangland" features a verse from Propaganda and talks about being black in America and teaches some history. "Misconceptions 3" also features a few guest rappers and talks about why black America and the artists are misunderstood in a world of white, Christian music especially; it's a fast-moving dump of knowledge by some good rappers. This is a quick, 37-minute album full of raps from Lecrae and friends. Although I don't listen to it often and it's less memorable than his more produced albums, it's a solid listen of more underground-style rap.
