Hip Hop. Not many words conjure up the gamut of images and emotions as this art form. Some view it as an inherently evil and unredeemable culture; others see it as the modern-day "Pax Romana" upon which the Gospel can travel. While the debate rages, Emanuel Lee Lambert, Jr. a/k/a Da' T.R.U.T.H. has emerged as an urban missionary to those influenced by Hip Hop culture. This Cross Movement protégé is on a mission "to see the appetites of our generation change and their affections pried away from the things of this world, while growing for the things of God."

Better known to his family and friends as Manny, Da' T.R.U.T.H. was presented the Gospel at the age of five when he received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. As a teen, he was a talented drummer who listened to contemporary Christian music. A self-described "old soul," he never found rap music appealing though he was attracted to aspects of the culture. "I had no interest in rap music. As a matter of fact, I was disenchanted with the whole idea of rap," says Da' T.R.U.T.H. Providence would have it that one day he and his friend Tyrone (Twyse) began free-styling for fun when he discovered that he actually possessed a talent for rhyming. Da' T.R.U.T.H. co-founded the Christian Hip Hop group NIV and at the age of 19 he acquired the moniker of T.R.U.T.H., launching his ministry as an urban missionary.
