LeCrae "Church Clothes 3" Mixtape Scores Him Another #1 Album
Christian hip hop artist, songwriter, producer and label owner Lecrae received yet another #1 record! Last wee, Lecrae surprised fans with the release of a new mixtape, Church Clothes 3, the third installment to his critically acclaimed mixtape series Church Clothes. The mixtape album officially debuted as the #1 Rap/Hip Hop album on the Billboard chart. CC3 also charted as the #1 Independent album, #3 Digital album, #7 on the Albums chart and #12 on the coveted Top 200 Album Chart.
Alongside the album, Lecrae released a longform music video entitled "Church Clothes 3: A Short Film", which features the songs "It Is What It Is", "Gangland", "Déjà Vu", and "Misconceptions 3".The music video was praised for its vintage feel and beautiful visuals.
Victoria Hernandez of HipHopDX rated Church Clothes 3 three-and-a-half out of five, praising the mixtape's production and how Lecrae's lyrics meld social issues with expressions of his faith, but opining that Lecrae did not introduce anything new on the tape.Rap Remnant viewed the mixtape highly favorably, rating it four-point-seven out of five and lavishing praise on Lecrae's lyrical themes of social injustice, racial tension, oppression, and the need for the Gospel. Carlin Doyle of Reel Gospel was more mixed, rating the recording three out of five. He likewise praised the lyrical themes of the mixtape, but found that, when compared to Lecrae's 2014 album Anomaly, the production on Church Clothes 3 is rushed and lacking in creativity
This follows his record breaking seventh studio album Anomaly which took the world by storm in 2014 and gave Lecrae his best debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart as well as several other Billboard charts including, Digital Album, Rap Album, Christian Album and Gospel Album. As noted by Billboard Magazine, Anomaly "was the Grammy winner's sixth No. 1 on the Gospel Albums chart and his fifth leader on Christian Albums." Consequently this means that, Anomaly was "the first title to crown both Gospel Albums and the Billboard 200, and just the fifth set to lead both Christian Albums and the Billboard 200."
Church Clothes 3 is available via Reach Records for digital purchase and streaming across all DSPs including iTunes. Fans can also purchase a copy at DTLR stores, the lifestyle retailer exclusively carrying the physical release.
