This excellent 2005 album had missed a Cross Rhythms review until now. At the centre of this project is the rapper's thesis that relationship with Christ should be at the central to every part of our lives. Up first is "Thesis Pieces" where a melodic child-sung hook that "Jesus makes everything right" declaring "We need this. . ./Hip-hop properly submitted to the glorious Lord." Other tracks affirm this message, eg, "The Anthem" which brings another on-point roller with Ambassador's outstanding monotonal-sounding and fast delivery. "Feels Good" brings truth about the freedom that is found in Christ, as opposed to the lies of the world and a life away from hate, thugs and hopelessness. The emcee offers an alternative to Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot" on "Get You Open" with telling effect. There are also some hip-hop worship songs like "Crown Him" and "We Worship You". All in all, an album gospel hip-hop devotees shouldn't overlook.
