Are you turned off by Hip Hop because of the main stream or popular culture that can be associated with it? The womanizing? The violence? The alcohol abuse? Well there are artists out there dedicated to the Christian message. One of those is Lecrae. Lecrae is Christian rap, but very much filled with the gospel and isn't afraid to rap about good messages.

According to Streaming Faith Lacrae has been doing very well including spending time at the #1 position of Billboard's Gospel charts towards the end of 2008. Here is some of what Streaming Faith had to say about it:

"Since debuting on Sept. 30, the album from Reach Records' recording artist Lecrae, maintains the No. 1 position on Billboard's Top Gospel Album chart for the second week.

Making history as the first Christian Rap album to sit in the top position, "Rebel" has ended the 18-week run of Marvin Sapp's "Thirsty," placing it in the No. 2 position while Voices' "The Ultimate Gospel Collection," CeCe Winans' "Thy Kingdom Come," and Shekinah Glory's "Jesus" complete the Top 5 positions, respectively.

"Rebel" also maintains top placement on Billboards' Top Christian/Gospel Album chart, and also closed out the week in the No. 5 position on iTunes' Top Rap/Hip Hop Album following T.I.'s "Paper Trail," Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III," and Young Jeezy's "The Recession.""
