the trophy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for
“Messengers,” track No. 15 of his seventh studio album Anomaly. Click here to

Artists sharing in Lecrae’s victory include for KING &
COUNTRY, which featured on the song, as well as Dirty Rice, Joseph Prielozny
and Street Symphony, who produced it. The competitors he edged for the honor
were Francesca Battistelli for her song “Write Your Story,” Crowder for “Come
As You Are,” MercyMe for “Shake” and Needtobreathe for “Multiplied.”
After the release of Anomaly, “Messengers” had received
significant radio play on contemporary Christian music stations K-Love and

for his previous album Gravity. He lost his first Grammy nomination of the day
for his feature on Erica Campbell's song "Help."
