The Cross Movement is a Grammy-nominated, Christian hip hop band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ministry The Cross Movement has three separate and distinct eponymous components which comprise its ministry. The first component is the Christian hip hop group known as The Cross Movement (CM) which is currently composed of four solo rappers: The Ambassador , The Tonic (John Wells), Phanatik (Brady Goodwin), and T.R.U.-L.I.F.E, (Virgil Byrd).

The second component to the Cross Movement is the record label, Cross Movement Rec
