Gospel Hip-Hop Artist Lecrae Becomes Number 1 On iTunes

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.
