In an engaging, revealing sit-down with Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning, Lecrae revealed a shocking story of being molested as a child. That takes some bravery to admit in the macho rap world, but Lecrae’s never quite fit the stereotype anyway. He also talks openly about his Christian beliefs in addition to the great success of his new #1 album, Anomaly. Even stay tuned for a freestyle above.

Monday Roundup
You may have noticed the site has been stagnant for the last couple of days. We were in the midst of some site updates and couldn’t update you on the latest and greatest during the start of this second week of September. Never fear, here’s your rundown of just Monday’s new content below (Tuesday is linked below too.)
RADIO
My favorite segment of the 3 — Gambino rocks a smooth freestyle over HS87’s buzzing summer single and confirms that Chance collab EP in the process. Jhene Aiko talks about Gambino himself amongst other topics including her debut album, Souled Out, (out now!). And finally, Raury does something different after a nearly 20 minute sit down with Hot 97 — an acoustic cover of Kanye’s “Blood on the Leaves”, in which he also adds a new verse of his own. Fresh. And it would only sound better in the studio, methinks.

Jhene Aiko Hot 97 Interview
Jhene Aiko not only stopped by Angie Martinez this week but also EBro in the Morning on Hot 97 with Rosenberg & Laura Stylez. The half hour sit down touches on a number of topics from the new album, Souled Out, (out Tuesday) and how she actually met frequent collaborators/rumored boyfriends (but they’re not) — Childish Gambino & Drake. Those stories were pretty cool. Jhene also talks about past experiences (signing a deal at age 12, the loss of her brother at only age 26) as EBro and the humorous Rosenberg keep things moving for an entertaining, long discussion.
G-Unit “Watch Me”
G-Unit galore in this post. First up above is the new video for “Watch Me”. They’ve also done the NYC promo run a la Jhene Aiko in the post up above and sat down with The Breakfast Club and Hot 97. Both those interviews are below, along with a new Funkmaster Flex freestyle.
Angie Martinez on The Breakfast Club
If you were swept up in the sudden departure of Angie Martinez from her longtime home at Hot 97 to rival Power 105 last week, this is the interview you’ve been waiting for. Angie talks in-depth about the leave for the first time on her new home The Breakfast Club.
