Christian hip-hop artist Lecrae revealed his plans for his upcoming mixtape Church Clothes along with the artwork he will use for its cover to Rapzilla.com in an interview over the weekend.

"This mixtape is aimed at the mainstream and is raw, uncut Hip-Hop," said Lecrae to the site. "This is totally different from my past releases, and I hope I can build a bridge between my current fans and create new ones."

Church Clothes will be hosted by Affiliates DJ Don Cannon, a close associate of mixtape king DJ Drama, who has worked with everyone from Lil Wayne to 50 Cent.

Cannon expressed his excitement about the project to Rapzilla.

"What interested me was that he feels so strongly about his beliefs, and I am the same way," said DJ Don Cannon in an interview with Rapzilla. "It's something special in music to be able to stand up in this industry and bring the people something different."

Church Clothes is Lecrae's official introduction into the mainstream hip-hop scene and will feature some well known artists and producers including rapper No Malice of the Clipse and production from Boi-1-Da, S1 and Street Symphony.
