(Atlanta) - In the wake of the success of his two previous CD’s (Rebel and Rehab), Christian rapper LeCrae has once again landed on familiar territory with his latest CD, Rehab: The Overdose, which debuted at #1 on both the Billboard’s Christian and Gospel charts; number 5 on the Rap Chart and # 15 on Top 200. With a robust 22,000 units, Rehab: The Overdose should put to rest any doubt as to the ascendency of the Christian Rap genre. “It’s an honor and a blessing that my fans are supporting me with this project,” LeCrae says. “I appreciate their support and recognition of the messages that I am dedicated to delivering to the masses.”

Nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album for Rehab, LeCrae will be the featured opening act on selected dates with the upcoming Rock & Roll Worship Roadshow alongside groups like MercyMe, Jars of Clay and Thousand Foot Krutch. A dedicated humanitarian, LeCrae also plans to spend time with his outreach efforts of working with disenfranchised youth.
