Cementing his reputation after crossover successes
Rehab and
Gravity,
Lecrae issued
Church Clothes, available first as a full mixtape download but later released commercially as a seven-track EP. Both incarnations featured Christianity's best and brightest rapper waxing eloquent on the standout track "APB" ("This boy here crazy, nah that's just Crae"), but the mixtape features far more of interest to hip-hop fans, including highlights like the title track, "Darkest Hour" (featuring
No Malice, formerly
Malice of
the Clipse), and "Rise" (with production from
9th Wonder).
