The American Christian Artist Still Shining in 2026 

The Artist: Lecrae Moore

Lecrae Moore is an American Christian rapper, songwriter, author, and co-founder of Reach Records. He is a three-time BET Award winner, a two-time Grammy Award winner, and the first Christian rapper to perform on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert, helping bring faith-based hip-hop to a broader audience.

 BET Awards 2026

On June 30, 2026, Lecrae won the Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award at the BET Awards for his song "Headphones," featuring Killer Mike and T.I.

The award marks his third BET Award, closing out Black Music Month with another major achievement.

The song appears on his acclaimed album Reconstruction, as well as its deluxe edition, Reconstruction: Second Story. After more than 20 years in music, Lecrae continues to refine his sound while remaining faithful to his message.

Why This Matters to the 940 Gospel Radio Audience

• A return after stepping away from touring: Lecrae had announced that he would slow down his touring schedule, yet God continues to open doors for him on one of music's biggest stages.

• A message of healing and hope: Reconstruction explores faith, healing, restoration, and overcoming brokenness—messages that resonate deeply with listeners in the United States and around the world.

• Building bridges: Collaborations with artists like Killer Mike and T.I. demonstrate that the Gospel can reach beyond church walls and speak to people from every background.

Lecrae's Message

"Reconstruction represents the sound I've been building for the past two decades."

For Lecrae, Reconstruction is more than an album—it's a reminder that God rebuilds broken lives and restores hope.
