The Ambassador

The seven-member Cross Movement camp has earned high respect from the Gospel hip-hop community for their combination of superb skills, unbound talent, ununwavering ministry and intense presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The crew has put forth several projects since 1997 (the Stellar Award nominated Heaven's Mentality and and House of Representatives, released in late 1999). There latest project titled "Christology in Laymen's Terms" combines Cross Movement's signature Biblical apologetics (defense of the Faith), neck-snapping street beats, crystal production values and outstanding lyrics that are complete and inspired,

The Cd consists of 21 masterfully constructed tracks, 5 of which are interludes, 74 minutes total. The first track sums up the overiding theme of the project, as the Ambassador declares in prayer that I deliberately focus on your Person, and the work of your Son, Jesus Christ. He elaborates in a subsequent interlude that we focus in on Christ, the Person, the work, the pre-existence, the incarnation, the earthly ministry and His return. The lyrics and wordplay of each track are works of art, crammed with profound theology that is always relevant and approachable.

It's commendable that the artful, chunky CD booklet includes include the words to every single cut on this piece. Some of the tracks include "One Two", "Psalm 23", "Selah", "Apologetics" and "Honor & Glory." On the interlude "One Point," Brady gives testimony to the haunting love of Christ that continuously calls us to priority of His presence despite of our willingness to be distracted. Ambassador delivers profound scriptural truth on every track, always confessing Jesus Christ as Reality.

Christology in Laymen's Terms, in grand tradition continues Cross Movement's relentless assault on everyone's predisposed notions of evangelism and hip-hop. Both the hip-hop community and the evangelical community should take heed and a few sermon notes because a revolution is at hand. This album needs not to be slept on and truly deserves to be heard in its entirety.! Christian or non-Christians need to get this. It's for everybody and he breaks the Message down where people can understand it. He calls attention to the problems people go through everyday but ushers in the true way to look at them and the only Solution.
