From Reach Records:
"Lecrae gets support from Sho Baraka, Trip Lee, Tedashii, Pro, J.R., Benjah and many others along the journey towards restoration—with several memorable collaborations. PK, CheeseBeats, J.R., and Benjah contribute on production and sonically, help take the listener along a soul-full ride. REHAB also features bangers like "Use To Do It Too" and "High" along with the anthems "Children of the Light," "40 Deep," and "Walking On Water"--on which Lecrae boasts in God’s ability to empower the weakest of men."

Although Lecrae did not recieve a Grammy, he was honored to have been nominated. From Rapzilla.com (Lecrae's blog on ReachRecords.com) Lecrae shares about his experience.
"I'm in LA. I'm 2 inches away from some of Americas most popular entertainers. I'm walking around during Grammy week amongst tons of people who deeply desire to be accepted. I'm in a world where people want to be embraced by society and those they think are more important or significant than themselves.
It's quite sad, but what's sadder is that there are few Christians amongst them who are fighting to serve them and help them see where our true significance is found. In Christ.
I didn't come to take home a Grammy. If I'm honest I really doubt I will. I came to take home relationships with people who seem untouchable and who are addicted to the praise of men. I'm came to strategically place myself among them, to love them, to share hard truths with them and serve them.
Pray for my time here. The awards and stats are great, but they not only point to Gods faithfulness they are things this industry esteems. God has used them thus far to place me in new worlds with heart piercing, darkness shattering truth.
There's more I'd like to share and I will when I return. Until then pray for ya boy."
