NEW YORK — Grammy Award-winning rapper Lecrae will perform at the shoe launch party for Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry during NBA All-Star Weekend in New York.
Curry, the leading vote-getter among all All-Stars, is release his new Under Armour shoe: the Curry One. Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx will host, DJ Questlove will spin and Lecrae will headline the festivities at the Marquee.
Curry has been a fan of Lecrae for years. He attended the Gravity concert in San Francisco, where the two officially met backstage. Lecrae later presided over the pregame chapel for the Warriors during a road game in Minnesota. Curry also helped promote the release of Lecrae’s Anomaly album.
