Andre' has a sound unique to himself. He focuses on message and is determined to put it out regardless of sales. The intent is to provoke new thoughts and to up lift people. If you are looking for something edgy and ,in some cases, contoversial then Andre' fits the criteria.

A native of Philadelphia, Andre' N. Jones began writing in the eighth grade, at the beconing of his English teacher Mrs. Conover. Since then Andre' has gone on to write many poems, a few screenplays and even some music. A devoted husband and father of three, Andre' spends at least an hour each night writing. Andre believes, to quote a phrase from his friend and noted author Charles Fuller, "If writing is what you have to do then you'll finish." "Stories have a way of not letting us rest unless we finish them." Those are the words he reflects on everytime he puts pen to paper or fingers to keyboard. Andre' says, "Every story worth telling is worthy of the nightly sacrifice.... It's like putting change in a piggy bank." "You keep putting the work in until one day you have something of worth to work with." Andre' writes about the human condition, science fiction, political bafoonary and comedy. He says he tries to base everything on little stuff. Andre' likes to write about stuff that people skip over, because they're too busy to empathize or even listen to one another.
Verbal Light is the first recorded installment of the artist's soul. Andre' prays y'all can feel him as he provides an alternative to fast-food radio and subliminal suggestion. To quote him: "Music and art should set captives free, so be free y'all.... Be free."
Verbally Yours,
Andre' N. Jones A.K.A. Drizzrod

About The Ambassador—The Chop Chop In Stores Today!
William “Duce” Branch a.k.a. “The Ambassador” is a co-founder and primary spokesperson for the nationally known Christian rap group The Cross Movement which is currently signed with Cross Movement Records (CMR). He is also co-pastor of an inner city church plant (Epiphany Fellowship) being launched in North Philadelphia, Pa, USA. Duce also served for several years as the president of the non-profit organization Cross Movement Ministries.
Duce has ministered the Gospel through rap and preaching for nearly fifteen (15) years seeking to be a model and a messenger of the gospel’s transforming power especially (but not exclusively) among the hip-hop generations. With a passionate commitment to the kingdom of Christ as well as a firm belief that faith must integrate with culture, Duce has become known for his devotion to proclaiming Jesus Christ to urban contexts, and through urban mediums.
He holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Bible from Lancaster Bible College as well as a Masters degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS). His master’s thesis, Theological Implications of Hip-Hop Culture served as the inspiration for his latest Christian rap audio CD, The Thesis, and laid a much needed foundation for his current ministry campaign—“hip hop missions.” Duce is married to Michelle and they have four children together.
