Both newly signed Xist Music artists will release projects in 2011 and have plans for major tours throughout the country this year. “We are truly excited to partner with these two powerful and creative men of God. Having weathered the tumultuous past year, they both have emerged with rich testimonies that we believe will bring healing and strength to the masses. It’s an honor to add The Ambassador and Da’ T.R.U.T.H.’s unique platforms of ministry to the Xist family,” said CEO T. Black.

Da’ T.R.U.T.H. is the three-time Stellar Award Winner for Rap/Hip Hop Gospel CD of the Year—The Faith (2007), Open Book (2009) & The Big Picture (2010)—the latter two also snagged GRAMMY® and GMA Dove nominations. The Big Picture was the first Christian Hip Hop CD to debut #1 on the iTunes Christian & Gospel Chart and his second debut at #2 on the Billboard Gospel Charts. He’s toured globally and was a featured artist on the HERO Tour with Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary.
