This summer Lecrae celebrated the release of his memoir, Unashamed, which immediately debuted as a New York Times Best Seller landing in the Top 10 of the Nonfiction category. It was also announced that the groundbreaking rap artist had signed a deal with Columbia Records and his own label, Reach Records. Lecrae has shared the stage with Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole as well as hip hop legends Wu-Tang Clan, Rakim and Common, and he has co-headlined some of the best-selling tours in the U.S., according to Pollstar.
