Lecrae delivers his latest mixtape, Church Clothes, featuring a slew of collaborators. The DJ Cannon-hosted effort, released Thursday (May 10), welcomes MCs like No Malice -- formerly Malice of the Clipse -- producers Boi-1da ("Gimme a Second") and 9th Wonder ("Long Time Coming"), among others.

No Malice kicks off "Darkest Hour" with a verse that explores his past involved with drugs. "Lord have mercy and pity on your son/ From what I once was to what I have become/ Forgive me for my past and the noses left numb/ As I'm lead down this path to the beat of a different drum/ Fee fi fo fum, I'm conquering my giants/ And all by my lonesome I'm conquering Goliath," the former Clipse member rhymes.

Lecrae delivers solid lines on the track, all why questioning "gangstas." "I spazzed on the pharaoh/ The pathway is narrow/ Eye of the bull on my back, looking for an arrow/ Lying like I wasn't tempted by that double barrel/ If gangstas don't dance why you tapping with the devil," he raps.
