Lecrae has jumped on Kendrick Lamar’s “Watch the Party Die” after being referenced on the original track. In a post on Instagram on Saturday night, the Christian rapper shared an audio clip of him rapping over the beat. Instead of a pair of black Air Force 1 shoes, he used a white pair for the artwork. “Welp.. this is what Lecrae would do,” he captioned the post.
On Lamar’s version of the track, he raps: “Sometimes I wonder what Lecrae would do / F*ck these n****s up or show ’em just what prayer do?” Crae first responded to the shout-out by writing on X (formerly Twitter) by writing: “Love you Dot….Always here. [praying hands emoji].”

In the comments section of Lecrae’s post, fans have been loving the performance. One top response reads: “This is why I can’t quit Crae. Every time I get bored of his fitting in/safe rap, he drops something atomic and brings me back in again. I hope the next project is more of this. More realness to show why he bothers either way Jesus in the first place.” Another user writes: “Bro. Pulling out the Isaiah 64 and hitting the original Hebrew with our ‘righteousness’ is as menstruous rags. Preach the Word, @lecrae. Those are the FACTS. Thank You Jesus for what You’ve done to redeem us. This is freaking [fire emoji].”
