The Manager’s Playbook 071: Lecrae - Christian Hip-Hop, Reach Records, Independence, Faith, Artist Development & Music Business

In this episode of The Manager’s Playbook, Mauricio Ruiz sits down with Lecrae for a conversation about faith, hip-hop, independence, and what it really means to build when the industry doesn’t know where to put you.

Lecrae breaks down how he navigated the divide between mainstream hip-hop and Christian music, why Reach Records had to become fully independent, and how community, touring, and direct fan support helped build one of the strongest independent businesses in music.

We also get into Christian radio, the business of gospel and Christian music, artist development, building a healthy team, balancing CEO vs artist decisions, podcasting, media, ownership, and why independent artists need to understand their audience before chasing industry approval.

A must-listen for artists, managers, music executives, Christian hip-hop fans, and anyone serious about building outside the traditional music business system.

Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
