Ever wondered why aviators shout “Mayday” when they’re in trouble? I didn’t until just now but, since I took the time to look it up, I’m going to fill you in: according to Wikipedia, it’s derived from the French “m’aider,” meaning “help me.” Let it not be said that The DJBooth never taught you anything. The first solo feature and latest single from Lecrae, an ATL rhymesayer previously heard delivering guest bars on Statik Selektah‘s Live & Let Live, finds the artist shouting the famous distress call to the Man Upstairs as he realizes what’s in store for him if he continues living a life of crime. Joining the headliner over DJ Khalil‘s lush, piano-laced production, Southern heavyweight Big K.R.I.T. also chronicles his own struggle to live up to his spiritual standards on verse two, and American Idol alum Ashton Jones tops the record off with her soaring hook vocals. For more, check out Lecrae’s Gravity LP when it drops September 4, via Reach Records.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on September 3, 2012

Sick flows by Lecrae and Big KRIT. Lyrics really make you think. Good track with strong production by DJ Khalil.

Its weird. I was told that Lecrae had a new album coming out, but I forgot we previously had featured his work with Statik Selektah. This stand out cut made me feel stupid for forgetting and assured our readers that it won't happen again haha.

Strong song, must be popular among Lecrae fan base, I don't believe in god so I usually don't follow his music but I say feat. Big K.R.I.T and production from DJ Khalil.
