Press Release Summary: “Spiritual Maturity” Themes this Masterpiece: It Challenges
Hearers to Take in the “Meat” of God’s Word and Allow it to Become a Part of Who We
are Called to Become


Press Release Body: New York - September 2008 – Building on the success of his
sophomore solo project The Thesis and his GRAMMYâ and Stellar nominated release
HIStory with group The Cross Movement, The Ambassador follows with The Chop Chop—a
creatively crafted album with captivating production by J.R., Official, Tony Stone
and HOTHANDZ topped with an uncompromising message that will challenge listeners,
while exposing the authenticity and supremacy of God.

“The Chop Chop: From Milk to Meat” is both an invitation and an exhortation from the
GRAMMYâ, GMA Dove and Stellar nominated hip hop pioneer and co-pastor of Epiphany
Fellowship to rally those who are hungry for truth and determined to mature. “The
current trend in our culture—and sadly in the church—is to ‘dumb down’ almost
everything. Some things require a little more intensity, commitment and grind, and
our faith is certainly one of those jewels,” states The Ambassador.

With special guest appearances by LeCrae, Trip Lee, Da’ T.R.U.T.H. and Stephen the
Levite, The Chop Chop calls all hearers to take the meat of God’s weighty truth and
“chop it up,” chew it until it becomes a part of them.


Fueled by the momentum of an infectious single “Gimme Dat!,” The Chop Chop has been
called “a project that fires on all cylinders.” Already embraced by broadcast
Gospel outlets, The Ambassador most recently performed “Gimme Dat!” on TBN’s “Praise
The Lord,” and is set to appear on TV1’s “The Gospel of Music with Jeff Majors” and
INSP’s “Mixx Masters Lounge.
