Knicks Guard Jeremy Lin Recommends Christian Hip-Hop Artist Lecrae [Video]

» by February 14, 2012, 19:13pm

Jeremy Lin took NYC and the NBA by storm thanks to his feats on the basketball court the past week. But don't expect any Rick Ross, Lil Wayne or Jay-Z, or maybe even the rap song recently dedicated to him, on his pre-game playlist. The Knicks point guard actually listens to Lecrae, a Christian Hip-Hop artist, and Grammy nominee, too.

"An artist you gotta check out is Lecrae, he's a Christian rapper. He just raps a lot about the Gospel and about Christian music," Lin told FUSE, shortly before his greatest NBA week ever. "I really enjoy his lyrics as well. So if you're a big lyrics guy, I think that would be a good fit for you."

The Harvard grad also recommended Hillsong, a Christian band, since he tries not to get "too hyped up" before a game. Even Floyd Mayweather can't be mad at that.
