Christmas in Brooklyn

Tonight in Brooklyn, New York's Barclay Center, hip-hop history will go down as legends Run DMC and LL Cool J hit the stage with Christian rapper Lecrae.

The home of the Brooklyn Nets will be hosting the Christmas in Brooklyn event, which is being put on by hip-hop radio station Hot 97 and 107.5 BLS.

"Christmas in Brooklyn brings together two world-renowned stations with two legendary acts in hip-hop as well as new artists we've come to love," said Deon Levingston, general manager of Emmis NY according to MStarz, "As we come off the highly successful 10th anniversary of Circle of Sisters and begin to prep for HOT 97's Summer Jam, Emmis NY remains committed to delivering our listeners once-in-a-lifetime experiences they can't get anywhere else. We're in full holiday spirit mode and look forward to providing our listeners with the chance to see their favorite artists, many of whose careers began on WBLS and continued to excel on HOT 97. Emmis NY is excited to celebrate the holidays with our fans in New York!"

"NYC come show your support! #Outsiders #Anomaly" Lecrae posted on his Twitter.

Lecrae was just on Hot 97 on the Ebro in the Morning show to speak about the landmark show tonight and do a bit of freestyling for the crew.

Lecrae was asked about a caller who previously called the Ebro in the Morning radio show on Hot 97 who was upset that a Christian would share the stage with secular rappers.

"I'm gonna be me, you should want me to be me, anyway and everywhere. You shouldn't want me to just be me in the church. You should want me to be me everywhere I go and carry what I carry," he responded.
