ff5 is so over the top...haha

I would find them annoying but they are genuinely nice guys so its hard to

My daughter loves them. I'm taking her to see them this weekend -- I'm not that much of a fan, but Disciple is on the same tour, so I'll get to hear something I like too.

[RubberMallet]

While we're at it....

Propoganda's new album was just released, and it's pretty amazing. COMPLETELY different style than Lecrae. And man, it is hard to listen to, not because of the music (which is very high quality) but because of the content. It hits on some things very hard.

You can download the whole thing for free here:

Just downloaded this album. Wow, this is good. I love that christian rap is 1,000 times better than when I started listening to it.

Its more of a hip hop sound than a cheesy pop sound which certainly helps. I know my friend Perry Tankard (DJ PDOGG) hosted a hip hop show for a number of years here (he was the driving force behind getting folks like Cross Movement and Frontlynaz to come here for concerts)

It turns out that Lecrae, who specializes in Christian hip-hop and recently dropped his sixth studio album, "Gravity," is highly sought after by players around the league -- and even team chaplains -- for his prayer sessions. Lecrae either does them at the arena or stadium or the visiting team's hotel, typically starting two hours before the game and lasting 45 minutes.

They're usually scheduled when Lecrae is in a certain city performing, or when there's a game featuring a team with whom he has a good relationship. Since initiating his chapel services last year, free of charge, he's developed relationships with Team USA men's basketball and the Kings and Timberwolves in the NBA; the Giants, Falcons and Buccaneers in the NFL; and the Yankees, Braves, White Sox and Diamondbacks in MLB. His next chapel service is on Dec. 16 with the Giants in Atlanta, where they play the Falcons.

While taking a break from his current nationwide "Unashamed Tour 2012: Come Alive,” Lecrae spoke with ESPN Playbook about his spiritually driven hip-hop, how he helps the pros and his own sports interests.

I just started listening to Lecrae, very impressed with his work.

[Kolzilla41]

Word is he'll be at Liberty in March.

Andy Mineo is so underrated. I bought his CD about 2-3 months ago. I was quite impressed, especially with the songs 'Young', 'Formerly Known' and 'Fools Gold'.

Andy may be the the best of all the 116 clique.

Yes, yes, and YES! Thank you for this thread. My schedule tonight is now filled.

You guys should give RedCloud and Pigeon John a listen.

[BJWilliams]

Pigeon John...there is one I havent heard in forever

[CajunFlame]

He is actually making a comeback.......if he can come back from his very minute heyday of 2004. This year he was featured in a few Nickelodean kids films, "The Bomb" was short-lived as the jingle for taco bell this spring, and he was featured in some ESPN highlights. His highest accomplishment would be, my 4 year old daughters favorite rapper. She walks around the house singing "I'm the bomb and I'm 'bout to blow up."

[Sly Fox]

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the 4-year-old knows how to work her daddy like my kindergartner.

[CajunFlame]

that would be one sturdy limb you would be standing on.
