Popular gospel rapper, Lecrae topped the iTunes
chart with his brand new single "All I Need Is You" which makes him the
first Christian hip-hop artist of all time to ever reach the number-one
spot on iTunes.
According to Christian Post who spoke with the rapper, he stated that the chart is not something to brag about.
"I
don't look at it that way, I think it's phenomenal to make music that
challenges people to think on morality, spirituality and the betterment
of society. Many people do that. Some sing country or jazz - I rap. At
the end of the day I'm not here to hold up the banner of a genre. I am
here to hold up the banner of Truth. It's way bigger than genres and
charts. I'm fighting to be a voice in culture. A voice in a dark world."
"All I Need Is You" got to number one spot on the iTunes' Hip-Hop/Rap song chart shortly after its release on Tuesday.
The
song not only makes Lecrae the first Christian hip-hop artist to ever
get to the top spot, but also the first Christian hip-hop artist in
history to reach number one on the iTunes song chart overall.
