"Duce starts rippin'. CD's grippin'. Joint'z equippin'. Radar's blippin'. Got 'em sippin'. Headz be flippin'. Christian hip-hop has been bumped up in stature with The Ambassador's solo release (the first to come from the Cross Movement). This thing rips lidz rugged, uppin' the standard of the Lord Jesus big time with its clear, forceful, prophetic street style. The Lord said, I know where ya live (Rev. 2:13), and this album demonstrates He's got your block in mind. Gotta thank Ya Lord, for this brutha'z unashamed love for Ya and for those You 'n him want so much to reach. I clearly hear Your heart through his and am emboldened and encouraged in my own to move closer to Ya by movin' out to the spots You wanna get to but which most don't seem to want to go. Been through this CD about 30 times (no exaggeration) and I'm still being delighted, surprised and amazed at its depth and ingenuity. Tremendous spiritual authority co-mingled with street authority in a hype-no-static mix-t'ya."

"I bought this CD for my 12 year old who is just starting to be interested in music. We were very concerned about all the junk out there, and we decided to check out christian rap. He loves it!! Mom and Dad love it! This is a talented, blessed man who weaves in the everyday venacular with scripture and truth that comes from studying God's word and being guided by the Holy Spirit. Mom and Dad have not found any faulty doctrine(we listened carefully over and over). It is now a family CD because my heart is blessed by hearing this young man sing love songs to GOD and to those who enjoy the beat. Parent's should have no reservation about any track on here. GOOD STUFF TRUE STUFF!!!"

"This is the best hip-hop CD to drop since Nas' "Illmatic." Period. Christian, secular, underground, mainstream, east coast, west coast, whatever. "Christology..." is the above and beyond anything I've heard in five years, maybe more. The production surpasses outstanding (the Ambassador himself produced much of the album). The lyrics are thoughtfully written, tightly woven and consistent. It's clear that this man knows both his hip-hop and his God. I didn't think The Cross Movement could possibly surpass "House of Representatives" in terms of production and lyrical/content quality, but the Ambassador has almost single-handedly done just that. Buy it and spread the word."
Awesome CD- In Dwayne's terms

"With this being the third installment of the Cross Movement Anthology, my expectations were very high. Did this album meet my expectations? In the words of Curly Joe, "Certainly". Ambassador is the storyteller of the group so I knew he wouldn't stray from his signature style. He hits us with "phat joints" after "phat joint". Songs like "Hold Your Ground", "Apologetics" and "Products" puts you in the mindset of a soldier. Even though it's a rap LP, Ambassador shows his passion for God with "Psalms 23", "Honor and Glory" and the ever so lovely, "I Love You Jesus". "Thug Joint" is the most illustrative song on the album. This song describes the conviction that "William" feels when he is doing his own "thang" out there on the streets. He paints a clear picture of the transforming power of "Yahweh, and how he gets busy like a rush hour highway." This song puts you in the mindset of "Off the Hook", a song on the House of Reps Lp. If you want a layed back jam, check out "Loophole". There are so many delights on this album that one could go on and on about it. I will say that the Ambassador really ministers on "Christology" and leaves little doubt to whom he is refering to on his songs. BUY THIS ALBUM. You won't regret it. Especially if you love Christian Hip Hop."

"It's Solo Ambassador in Cross Movement Records latest release, Christology. The messages and beats are both on point without the use of explisive lyrics to make up for creativity. The Cross Movement be rollin like cars, this album shines like a star, never thought that Jesus Christ would take'em this far."
