Introducing the Crossmovement, a hip-hop group coming out of Philly with one thing on their mind: Jesus Christ and how to get His message out to those involved with (and/or affected by) the culture of hip-hop. One thing that you will notice about Crossmovement is that they center their lyrics around Christ and work their way from there. On the best track on the album, "Father Forgive Them" the Ambassador and Phanatik (both very talented emcees) come straight at you with how the sinful nature of the planet is unpleasing in the eyes of God. All the songs on the cd are lyrically sound. Among the best are "Blood Spilla," "Test It," "Dust," and "Cypha Time." "Catch 22" is also a pretty deep track in which the Tonic explains how even in the toughest of situations, the Lord can work it out.

Heaven's Mentality explains the mindset of Crossmovement: Their loyalty to Jesus Christ and their desire to get His Word out to the masses. All in which is explained in "The Love Letter." A very beautiful letter to God read by each of the Crossmovement members. The Ambassador also explains what the Crossmovement is all about at the beginning of almost every track. The production value is also pretty low, but can be dismissed considering that this is their first album. Despite these problems, Heaven's Mentality is pretty enjoyable overall and a great tool for ministry.

Their best
written by Cowboy, February 17, 2008
This was their best work for sure. House of Reps was their second best. All the rest of their music has been incredibly mediocre.
Album is on

This album was seminal and groundbreaking. You have to think where true holy hip-hop was when it was released back in 1997 - nearly non-existent outside of a few artists maybe. Listen to the tracks Cypha Time and The Love Letter and you'll know they were Tru-Thang if you know what I'm saying.
