Song Review: “I Needed God” – Tasha Cobbs Leonard featuring Lecrae

• Artist: Tasha Cobbs Leonard ft. Lecrae
• Album: TASHA
• Genre: Gospel, Christian Hip-Hop (CHH), R&B
• Release Date: July 25, 2025

Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s collaboration with Lecrae on “I Needed God” is a stark and invigorating departure from gospel tradition, offering a modern, hip-hop-infused testimony of surrender. While tracks like “Church” offer quiet contemplation, “I Needed God” is an energetic, honest declaration of spiritual crisis and subsequent rescue. It perfectly embodies the genre-bending ambition of her first studio album, TASHA, serving as an urgent reminder that faith often begins at the point of utter helplessness.
