Emblem of the Ambassadoz
Some called us 3rd world citizens while others said we were backwards, some even asked if we still lived on trees in Africa. Truth is, with more than 7 years experience of ripping shows, the AMBASSADOZ (M.O.A & AKAN) operated solely in the underground, eventually surfacing in the late 90s as recording artists who knew exactly what their audience wanted and what they wanted was something new.

Their creation is hip-hop music that can range from hard-core to afro-funk, becoming hard to lock into a specific genre or category. This distinctive hybrid of sound has the ability to dazzle spectators with their 'switching spit' lingo (rapping in different languages and accents) while commanding the credibility from the hip-hop elite. They bridge the gap between all the different forms of hip-hop vernacular on stage spittin' in English, French, Twi, and Pidgin to name a few.

M.O.A (Minista Of Agrikulcha) & AKAN
Their debut album TRAVELWYZE will hit the stores summer 2004. This is an opportunity for them to give good music to the masses and let the world know that Africans can put out classic hip hop music. The CD will comprise of 13-15 tracks including some bonus material recorded and mixed in Philly, PA. by M.O.A at the Ambassadoz recording studio, as well as production from up and coming producers worldwide, a few emcees are featured.

Akan and M.O.A are the only African hip-hop artistes to be featured in the Rock A Mole Productions documentary 'The Ultimate Song'. The film which is about music's role in the struggle to end poverty brings together the leaders of the poor in America with musicians such as Wyclef Jean, Bruce Springsteen, Brother Bank, Rage Against the Machine, Jackson Browne, Krown Ju-Elz, Steve Earle, Ice T and Kindred.

Caribbean Festival 2002 - Philly, PA
Their unique influences both musical and spiritual make the Ambassadoz a rare and captivating Ghanaian hip-hop group. Their fans are as diverse as the crew itself: blacks, whites, Asiatics, hippies, freestylers, rockers, and rastas can all be seen nodding their heads at an Ambassadoz show.

Their website is currently under construction at www.ambassadoz.com. For more info please contact: info@ambassadoz.com.
