                        We sit down with one of the top Christian Hip-hop artists of all-time; definitely of this generation. It was great to get an insight not only of the hip-hop lifestyle, but the personal struggle and the man behind the music. He is an author, writer, artist, actor, advocate and family man, Lecrae.

                        About Why Me Project

                        From the publisher's feed

                        We've all been there at one time or another (good or bad) where we've questioned: "Why Me"? Each Wednesday Johnny Rocket and Hollie Taylor talk to people about their "Why Me" moments, discussing “life unscripted” with inspiring guests who will reveal how they got back up after reaching a painful low. Hollie and Johnny will ask how deep those valleys were, and how they climbed out, shining a light on the world through their testimony.
