About Me
Ambassador Rick Commander in Chief silently conquering the Streets
May we present to youAmbassador Rick. You cant categorize, generalize, or stereotype this artist because he possesses something that so many others in the game currently lack; the realness. Talent, hunger, unmatched stage presence, and respect for the pioneers of real Hip-Hop, make him what we have been waiting for for so long. This 25-yr-old rapper/poet has been serious about writing and performing since 1988. At the young age of 8 years old, his peers and his elders realized that he had a precious gift for painting pictures with poetry and the natural ability to play on words; the makings of a great rapper.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Ambass lived most of his adolescence in South Carolina, and grew to a musically inclined young man in Virginia.
Having lived in different regions of the US, Ambass has had the opportunity to experience different cultures and ways of living; which has had a strong influence over his sound. With a voice that blends well with East Coast, Down South and West Coast music, he is never out of character when expressing his versatility.
Ambass began rhyming during the golden ago of hip-hop, and he over stands the evolution of the new age of Hip-Hop as well. Wise before his age, he has the consciousness of an old school emcee synthesized with the confidence and hunger of a young rapper reigning over the mix tape circuit as a crowned champion.
Ambassador Rick has opened for an impressive roster of A-List performers including: Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, Nina Skyy, Young Jeezy, and Fifty Cent. This fact alone proves that his music deserves the recognition and exposure synonymous with the music industrys most famous artists
As the front man of his crew, The Embassy, and partner in his Independent Record Company, D.I.D. Entertainment; Ambass is no stranger to the business side of the industry . In the late 1990s he started another company, Kingz ENT Inc. Several projects were released under the Kingz ENT imprint, which had local success and sold a collective of 5,000+ units. In addition to his local success in the Virginia Beach/Hampton/Norfolk, VA area, he is one of the very few artists to have snagged a track from one of VAs hottest and most sought after Producers, Nottz Raw; who in recent years has produced tracks for hip-hops elite, including: G-Unit, Dr. Dre, and Busta Rhymes.
Musically,the spotlight has been on Norfolk and Virginia Beach, VA with regards to this specific region; mainly because of acclaimed artists from that area, such as Timbaland, Missy, and Startrak (Neptunes, N.E.R.D. and Pharrell Williams) and their commercial successes. Ambassador Rick, a local legend in his own right hopes to shed some of that light on the Hampton, and Bad Newz (a.k.a. Newport News) areas of Virginia.
