Ahead of his first appearance on "The Tonight Show," Lecrae shared a clip explaining the inspiration behind the lead track on "Anomaly," entitled "Nuthin."
"It was such an aggressive track, I just wanted to say something aggressive and something meaningful," he said in the web exclusive. "And I wanted to articulate that I love music and I love hip-hop, and I love substance in my music, and I wanted this to have some substance. I want hip-hop to have substance."
"I made a battle cry for substance in music," Lecrae added.
The rapper, who is signed with Reach Records, is also well known for songs such as "Grateful," "Lost My Way," and "Walk With Me," among many others. In addition to sharing news of his second "The Tonight Show" appearance, Lecrae revealed a photo taken with Trip Lee and the ATL Drum Academy, a program benefitting inner-city kids.
