Lecrae has joined forces with hip-hop heavyweights T.I. and Killer Mike for the release of a visually striking and emotionally resonant music video for “Headphones.” Directed by AlphaMale Visuals, the video serves as a heartfelt tribute to departed loved ones and influential icons of hip-hop’s past, including Nipsey Hussle, Takeoff, and Tupac Shakur. A standout from Lecrae’s tenth studio album, Reconstruction, the track finds the three MCs reflecting on the people who shaped their lives, using the healing power of music to navigate the warmth of nostalgia. The imagery of Lecrae crate-digging through classic vinyl sets a reflective tone, emphasizing the album’s overarching theme of getting back to the core beliefs and “building blocks of faith” that define his journey.

The video’s release coincides with the launch of the Reconstruction World Tour, a massive 42-date global trek that sees the four-time Grammy winner performing across Africa, Australia, and major North American cities. Supported by Miles Minnick, Gio, and Torey D’Shaun on select dates, the tour brings the message of the new album to life, focusing on the spiritual reconstruction of love, joy, and peace. By partnering with legends like T.I. and Killer Mike for this specific visual, Lecrae cements Headphones as a cultural touchstone that honors those who came before while inviting fans to find strength in their own reminiscence. Reconstruction is out now via Reach Records, serving as an introspective masterpiece for longtime listeners and new fans alike.
