August 22nd, 2025 (Atlanta, GA)— Lecrae is reconstructing his faith after a period of deconstruction with the official release of his tenth solo LP, and first full-length project in three years – Reconstruction. Listen HERE. Spanning 19 tracks, the highly anticipated LP includes features from T.I., Killer Mike, Jon Bellion, Fridayy, and respected voices from the faith-based community such as Madison Ryann Ward, Torey D’Shaun, Jackie Hill Perry, Propaganda, MEEZO!, Aklesso, and Hollyn.

Reconstruction crystallizes the sound Lecrae has been honing across his prolific discography over the past two decades. In a conversation with Charlamagne tha God on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club earlier this month, Lecrae spoke about the meaning of Reconstruction as a transformative journey, and how he’s managed to stay grounded in his faith by rebuilding on the spiritual foundation of obedience to Christ. See HERE.

Often lauded for his transparent takes on religion, and the roles he serves both professionally and personally, Lecrae steps into the next chapter of his career as an essential voice in hip-hop, with Charlamagne adding, “If Lecrae wasn’t a quote-unquote ‘Christian rapper,’ they would have to put [Reconstruction] in rap album of the year category.”

Lecrae caps off an unprecedented run of collaborations this year with Miles Minnick (Get Well Soon!), Jackie Hill Perry (“Tell No Lie”) and Torey D’Shaun (“Bless You”) with his latest offering. Reconstruction, out now, invites anyone wrestling with belief to rebuild a healthy version of faith, grounded in the writings of the scripture. Lecrae drives home the album’s central theme in a social post with the caption: “Broken things can be rebuilt. Broken people can be restored. Broken faith can be renewed. This is more than an album. It’s Reconstruction.”

Ahead of the album’s release, Lecrae revealed the features on Reconstruction with a one-of-a-kind mailer that went out to over 1,200 of his most active supporters, offering exclusive access to an online community for early music, content, and engagement to earn points for other incentives.

Beyond the music, Lecrae has fostered a direct relationship with local communities. Last month (July 21), the multi-platinum recording artist held a back-to-school drive in the heart of Atlanta alongside nonprofit City Takers. A similar activation in Dallas quickly followed, where both fans and residents alike joined Lecrae in assembling backpacks filled with essential school supplies for students across the city in partnership with The Human Impact.

As a special treat to fans, he parlayed that momentum into the announcement of his headlining ‘Reconstruction World Tour.’ The world tour will kick off in Harare, Zimbabwe on Thu, Sept. 4 and stretch until Dec. 6 in Brisbane, Queensland. Along the way, the 42-day run will make stops in Lecrae’s hometown of Atlanta, including nights in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and Nashville. The trek will also make landfall in many countries and territories throughout Africa and Australia.

Special guests Miles Minnick, Gio, and Torey D’Shaun will join Lecrae on select dates throughout the tour.

TICKETS: Tickets are now available for purchase atlecrae.com/tour.

Making his anticipated return to the stage, the tour will mark one-year since Lecrae’s last outing in 2024 for ‘The Final Church Clothes Tour!’ The fan-favorite is slated to perform songs from his decorated catalog, as well as music from his new album.

Reconstruction finds the 4X Grammy-winner looking inward and getting back to the core beliefs and practices that made him a believer in the first place. In a spiritual sense, Lecrae is reconstructing walls that are the Fruit of the Spirit, which can be seen as building blocks of faith: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, and self-control.

ABOUT LECRAE

Multi Grammy-Award winning rap artist Lecrae has left an indelible mark in the world of music and entertainment. His music explores universal topics that bind, challenging industry norms with his faith-based rhyming style. He emerged in 2004 with the release of his debut album, Real Talk, and launched his own label, Reach Records. The perennial superstar has proved to not only be a gospel success, but he’s also crossed over into hip-hop and used his platform to foster a global fanbase. He’s remained consistent and staunch relevant throughout the 2000s, proven repeatedly with groundbreaking albums such as Rebel (2008), which made history as the first Christian hip-hop album to reach #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart; Gravity (2012), netting his first career Grammy; and Anomaly (2017), the first Christian rap album to go gold. The last song on Anomaly, titled “Messengers” with for KING & COUNTRY, earned Lecrae his second Grammy win (for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song) at the 57th Grammy Awards. The LP also earned him his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. 2022 was highlighted by the arrival of Church Clothes 4, and the deluxe version, Church Clothes 4: Dry Clean Only, arrived in 2023 – thus symbolizing the end of Lecrae’s popular mixtape series. In 2024, Lecrae started off the year by adding two more Grammys under his belt – one for his Church Clothes 4 project (Best Contemporary Christian Music Album) and the other for his “Your Power” collaboration with Tasha Cobbs (Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song). Over the years, Lecrae has garnered many awards and accolades, including four Grammy wins, two chart-topping gospel albums, a gold and platinum certification, and countless honors. Beyond the music, Lecrae’s prestige has grown considerably. He’s a New York Times bestselling author, using writing and activism to inspire local communities. The latter is exemplified in his philanthropic work to help instill hope in incarcerated individuals and bring attention to mass incarceration. This has proven to be a recurring theme in Lecrae’s previous partnerships with several nonprofit organizations such as Love Beyond Walls, Prison Fellowship and Send Musicians To Prison on similar initiatives. As a record executive, Lecrae has provided a pathway for artists who share his ethos such as Tedashii, Trip Lee, Andy Mineo, 1K Phew, WHATUPRG, Wande, Hulvey, and Limoblaze – all of whom are signed to his Reach Records imprint. Simultaneously, he remains a pillar of the culture at large, infiltrating the podcasting community with his show ‘The Deep End With Lecrae.’ Throughout his career, Lecrae continues to be a voice for positive change, and his work amplifies his impact.

ABOUT REACH RECORDS

Reach Records is an Atlanta based independent hip-hop label founded in 2004 by Lecrae and Ben Washer. Long before acclaim, awards, plaques, chart positioning, and radio play, the two started the label because they both love hip-hop and Jesus. Reach Records was launched with no strategy, no funds, no big players, but they made big moves! Today Reach Records is a trailblazing label with a roster of nearly 10 artists and a staff of 20 who are unashamed about sharing their faith and passionate about hip-hop. Reach Records is committed to building a movement that combines faith with music and popular culture.
