Summary

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome Lecrae to the Upper West Side! Known for his independent grind, his infamous BET cypher, and of course his faith-based rhymes, we get into his entire, fascinating and relatable journey. Lecrae talks growing up with a mom in the Army, moving around from school to school and reestablishing himself at every stop, lunchroom rap being a common denominator, finding his way into trouble via robberies, and finding his way back to a better way before it was too late. We discuss why he thought Middle Tennessee State was where he'd find success as an artist, how he sold CDs on an independent level, and how making one fan at a time and taking advantage of opportunities brought him to new cities, new countries, and onto TV. All that, plus stories about Lauryn Hill, Killer Mike, Royce da 5'9, French Montana, his new deal with Columbia Records and much, much more! Hosted on Acast.
