Lecrae teams up with Zaytoven for mixtape release
RAPPER Lecrae will
release on 22nd June a mixtape project via Reach Records with fellow
Grammy Award-winning producer Zaytoven, 'Let The Trap Say Amen'. Read
a press release, "Born out of a mutual respect for each other's work
and joined by common faith, the two Atlanta legends came together for
a release aimed at bridging understanding and building community,
especially in underserved neighbourhoods across America often dubbed
'The Trap'." In a guest editorial penned for DJBooth.net, The Trap
Does More Than Say 'Aye', Lecrae explains, "When I hear the term 'trap
music,' I don't think of glorifying the negativity. I think of a
soundscape that speaks a certain language. I think of music that tells
real stories." He continues, "There's a whole other side to the trap
that doesn't get exposed.. . . You can't pigeonhole our communities.
Everyone in the Trap ain't trappin'."
