Emanuel Lee Lambert, Jr. is a rapper who goes by the name Da Truth. Da Truth's debut album was Moment Of Truth released in 2004. He quickly returned with a follow up called The Faith in 2005. His first recording is the EP Who Is The Truth (2003). Even before the 2004 release of his first album, he enjoyed a record-breaking eighteen month stint at #1 on MP3.com’s Christian Hip Hop chart. That acclaim, coupled with his standout appearances on Out of Eden’s "Spirit Moves Remix" and The Cross Movement’s smash single "The Light", paved the way for him to become the fastest-selling, solo christian hip hop artist with the release of his debut album Moment of Truth. Currently, he is featured on two top-10 singles of the Radio and Records (R&R) Christian Rhythmic Chart—label-mates The Ambassador’s “Feels Good” (#2) and FLAME’s “LADIES” (#4). He’s been mentioned in both Vibe and The Source magazines and profiled in New Man magazine and a myriad of christian and gospel media outlets. His television appearances include BET’s “Lift Every Voice,” INSP’s “Steelroots” and “Mixx Master’s Lounge,” and Word Network’s “Bobby Jones Gospel.” He is also a featured artist in Holy Hip Hop : The Movie—the urban Christian film produced and edited by Christopher “Play” Martin released on Maverick Entertainment Group’s Spirit label in 2006. His sophomore album "The Faith" won a 2007 Stellar Award in the "Rap/Hip Hop Gospel CD of the Year" category.
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. The young man who fell in love with the hip hop culture is now seeing that love requited. The graduate of Philadelphia Biblical University and The Institute of Jewish Studies has ministered for audiences of over 100,000+ at events such as Creation Fest.
