VID: Ozone Magazine's Julia Beverly interviews Lecrae & Tedashii before Dove Awards

Ozone Magazine's Julia Beverly has been killing it with the video coverage lately.

It felt like I was shooting over her shoulder last week at the Bun B panel and Russell Simmons events. Now she's back in the mainstream rap rag's Atlanta home and interviewed Houston-connected Christian rappers Lecrae and Tedashii just before the Dove Awards.

Here's the full, nearly-20 minute shot where she asks them about the life of a "Christian rapper," where they believe they fit within the larger hip hop community, and how they interact with other mainstream artists in their field.

Interesting side note: According to this article and my own conversation with Julia - her parents are/were nondenominational Christian missionaries.
