Sho Baraka on reconciling with Lecrae after leaving Reach Records - Christian Rap

At a stop on the Spotlight Tour, Sho Baraka shared with Rapzilla.com how he and Lecrae reconciled. www.rapzilla.co...

[@JesusizSavior]

Entermission was the first album I ever purchased and changed my worldview. DJ Official was a true blessing to this industry and to God's kingdom 😭

[@ThatJesusMusic]

JesusizSavior I cried the day he left to go to heaven...

[@hueyschemin3135]

i feel Sho got tired of preaching to rich white kids who appreciated Christianity but couldnt share in Black culture. I feel like he had to do both. Which i agree with. Lecrae and Sho were always meant for different audiences. Love them both

[@scottharris9060]

I can't wait till Jesus comes back and things that satan uses to divide us like race, history, denomination...etc. is gone and we are all together, in His presence forever. It's gonna be so awesome.

[@45TIMES]

Out here in California it isn't just "rich white kids" at the church's no longer. There is quite a few rich hispanic, chinese, and black kids in the church. The balance has been showing itself for awhile. It is also ignorant to point children of any race out as an example of privilege. It isn't their fault that they are born into a healthy lifestyle, and the same for kids in poverty. The statement shows your insecurities and motives 🤔 May God open your heart and mind to his purpose 🙏💚

[@ellspressions1002]

never knew they weren't down anymore, but I'm glad they've managed to move past whatever the disagreement was.. I'm not gonna front though, I'm curious as to what is was- but I've always respected how real Sho is! blessings

[@lovedichoreo1529]

Thank you so much for sharing your testimony

[@DrBeanBaggin]

So they split, reconciled through someones death putting aside pettiness, and are kinda sorta cool now. Relatable. DJ Official did have great connections man, much respect.

[@RadBunny2269]

Even in death he did. What a life to emulate.

[@acharich]

🙏

[@kevinowens3774]

This was real. Appreciate the transparency.

[@kCedarwood]

my thoughts are while listening to the interview is this: they are saved imperfect ppl. And there relationships with ea. other demonstrates it! And it demonstrates the need for Jesus. God wants us to be a ppl who forgive ea. other first. How can we forgive the unrighteous before forgiving what God declares righteous! There's a reason Paul writes in his letters how he prays for his siblings and how the church should do the same...When we choose to do what is right, we are demonstrating love!

[@garlicgirl3149]

I totally get everything he said. It has happened to me and all the consequences you feel. The awkwardness, anger, bitterness but as we grow in Jesus He changes us especially if we are in tune with the spirit and continue to study and search the Word out. Eventually whether right or wrong one will reach out to the other. GOD loves reconciliation after all isn't that what he did for us? I pray they continue to grow and love each other.

[@janiejl]

Thanks for keeping it real Sho and being a friend and protecting his integrity as well as yours..that is Christ-likeness

[@alexboniface9935]

Real over fake he's here for that. Truth and faith he's here for that. He just do it for the love, for the love :P

[@kCedarwood]

lol! nice!

[@deirdremiller4458]

Excellent point made on same sex relationships. I loved the comment you made about, "not to put too much expectation on a person...", but still, "understand how to be committed to one another", in learning how to define these friendships.

[@Yxxz612]

Relax people this happens to ALL BELIEVERS if your a Artist or just a Construction worker that's a believer in general we all have issues in different areas of work n church.

[@BrentonGandyE]

Ildegardo Moses Espinoza I agree. There's Christian people whom I don't see eye to eye with. But we don't beef about it. I think that the media/press just wanted to create drama.

[@acharich]

Hmm..

[@gdep3611]

I appreciate Sho, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay underated lyricist. Beast!

[@proverbs_23]

sho your still an inspiration to me and I think this was very well said. the focus is the word and we all mature in the word as we go. thank you for all you do. bless...

[@igotyourbacklmt]

Love your sharing, that's what men of God should be expressing. All to his glory!

[@reuniteireland]

Good stuff, love hearing him talk about being real brothers in Christ and not being ashamed to let them know you love them and being genuine with one another. I am lucky to have a few close guys in my life like that and it makes all the difference.

[@ashtroboy0]

I've been out the loop of CHH for a while but DAG DJ OFFICIAL DIED?!?! Very sad to hear smh.

[@swanb.4228]

Yes, of cancer:(.

[@twoarebetterthanonetv]

He was being truthful with being committed as friends and communicating better! It does get awkward ❤️

[@greysondastanmalle684]

nice and I like it....I listen from Tanzania Africa.

[@chiziteluokoli1322]

I love the part when he spoke about making someone your hero instead of Jesus

[@TheDuke2905]

Proud of you man. Its important to love one another.

[@bethisway]

THIS IS REAL TALK. love.

[@godisgood91-b4x]

Very good! Reconciliation makes my heart melt! ✊️

[@jadude119]

Amen. Miss Dj Official. The Lord is still paining His people's canvases.

[@jeaangulo]

Dang! That was amazing. Thanks for posting!

[@RidyRed]

He literally said all that............and said nothing at all. Why cant dudes just say straight up how they feel and what it was. "I left the label after 10 years of friendship, didn't like Lecrae at all, DJ official died, and we put all the BS aside and are sort of cool now." See. painless.

[@draggabeats]

Darneh Jefferson yeah, it would be nice to get a disclosed story, but it seems that Lecrae's success created a divide, Reach Records outgrew some of its initial artists and then new guys like Andy Mineo come and does better than some of those who were originally in the 116.

[@acharich]

🙈

[@manofthesword7170]

And it comes to be about the artist rather than Jesus . Me me me me me

[@JK-kw2ut]

what if its not about that ....... like he said the main reasons wont go public meaning the main reasons are personal ........

[@Mond116]

Words can be twisted a million different ways over the internet. The truth that would start out would be no more in the end. That's why people leave things unsaid sometimes

[@cameramanvivo318]

Authentic, dawg.

[@terrysexton4043]

Sounds like it was a situation similar to Paul and Barnabas's separation. Sometimes God uses these things to further His kingdom. Both went their separate ways but continued to further the Kingdom in the way that God wanted them to.

[@canaja37]

I thought of same thing

[@louieo9252]

I'll be honest, the sinful side of me brought me here just to see why they were beefing. Don't really even care or know there was an issue

[@acharich]

😅

[@celesterwalker7725]

I never heard any of their group 116 stuff, but I like both Lecrae and Sho.

[@deirdremiller4458]

Real talk! Yaaasssss!!!

[@RaymondRobinsonJr]

💯

[@JHL751]

You can't praise God and not be right with another Christian. Matthew 5:23‭-‬24 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

[@lovedichoreo1529]

Great interview

[@777Edub]

Amen bro!

[@simplyafederalist]

I did not know DJ Official died.

[@daviddivad777]

Paul and Barnabas also had a disagreement, doesn't mean you can't still love and respect each other as brothers in Christ.

[@cedricjones2625]

Amen

[@cliftonfriese18]

Real talk.

[@ArielleWScott]

I totally get everything he just said

[@ElijahBrownTingz]

Lecrae also said that brand new artist " exodus X " , ( under our record label #diamond distribution records is working under a brand new influence . #anewmovement. don't get to serious about the controversy , focus on the music .

[@Godmademuzicministires]

truth

[@CeeDeeLight]

Jesus knew he would be betrayed by Judas and after Jesus rose from the dead and came to find the disciples, he asked about Judas. IMO, Judas was the ultimate betrayer, yet Jesus forgave that, so how much more should we with our "small" issues.

[@princegreene481]

Where you get the necklace?

[@ThunderKat2012]

I do think he left because of the spiritual direction that Lecrae was going in & taking the label with him over to a secular company. Christian music....the popular artists are becoming super watered down & ive even been in arguments with Lecrae and John Givez about it. CHH is one of the most transparent forms of music alive....Like if your not on point we can tell when your faking or your not really in it for Jesus...& when Lecrae first started it was all about Jesus but now IDK & I shouldnt have to question your fruit as an artist like that....its kinda how in the 90s like in order to be a real rapper you really had to live what you were saying...with the exception of a few who were just naturally gifted (ice cube) but yeah I feel thats how CHH was originally but not anymore...people dont question the authenticity of the artist anymore.

[@acharich]

[@MrShadowoftheSon]

Bruce Banner It's interesting to note that Sho's album has cursing on it post 116 Clique, while none of Reaches has cursing. Not saying that's an end all measure to spiritualness, just something to ponder.

[@adept2342]

MrShadowoftheSon well andy and givez (Kings Dream) curses but that doesn't degrade them as a Christians. they are being real. It is questionable and it does bother me but that is there lifesryle, not just lyrics, so yes sho does, but he's not alone.

[@MrShadowoftheSon]

RocketmanFTW Andy has a song with cussing? What lifestyle would that be? & can Christians still be real without cussing?

[@reallatcatchfrasestudios6648]

Bruce Banner I thought I was the only one. Hit the nail on the head.

[@slimtim1782]

Honestly why does there need to be theology concerning friendships? I mean seriously. Do we get that religious about...everything? Talk about organizing what is truly organic. I'm not sure all what he's getting at by saying that because he later talks about being real with one another but just hearing him say that gave off a negative connotation.

[@kendal59]

Why did Derek leave

[@DelishaPowell]

kendal soapes his leaving was almost like a 5 year plan kinda thing. The goal was always to get him in a position where could branch out. That was their goal from the jump.

[@juicemankeys2373]

Beating round the bush

"fish"

[@mscherrie2]

‡ Rest in Heaven DJ Official.

[@petechristdisciple6435]

[@PastorTrue93]

RIFICA777 DJ Official

[@RIFICA777]

Makes sense. Thank you

[@juicemankeys2373]

Just be honest and say lecrae fake and turned on you

[@kotoko556]

Nope, bad things in the name of the LORD😂🤣🤨 all bad things I do IN MY NAME,, don't start smearing mud on the LORD, Imagine if Ezekiel would be here he would have 500 rappers head instead of baal prophets

[@kezzytom-tukura2470]

does sho baraka encourage gay marriage????

[@illegitimategame]

this whole interview was stupid, this interview was full of vanity.. no one knew they were beefing, no one knew or cared that he left the label.. now we know and he gets more notoriety.. these Christians are acting like the secular artists

[@n9ners-empirefyt180]

Derek Rodgers he didn't even get into the personal facts so how? Sho did an interview. so what?

[@euxinebox]

Derek Rodgers well lecrae and the 666 click worship satan and maybe that is why this dude left...maybe.

[@ledmusic9447]

Euxine Box you better be careful what you say you will be held accountable on judgment day

[@jordanscott4543]

You're just a modern day Pharisee

[@euxinebox]

LED Music Lol i hope so sweetie. they throw up and promote satanic agendas and evil things so i think i will be alright. how about you who support satanic people

[@brandonr1590]

[@cedricjones2625]
