Hammond gained notoriety while playing the bass guitars for the gospel group The Winans. By 1985 he was one of the six original members of the group Commissioned, participating in 10 of the group's 12 albums.
After his stint with Commissioned ended, he regained fame in the gospel community after selling millions of albums with his musical group Radical For Christ.
In 2002 Hammond returned to the group Commissioned (now with members Keith Staten, Marvin Sapp, Mitchell Jones, Karl Reid, Michael Williams, and Marcus Cole) to produce the Commissioned Reunion Live album.
Hammond produced Make Me Like The Moon, a stirring gospel ballad co-written by Chanté Moore and Kenny Lattimore for their 2006 double-CD of gospel and R&B love songs entitled Uncovered/Covered (released October 10, 2006 by LaFace/Verity/Zomba Music Group). He also performs with Sean Combs on the album Thank You.

Tribulation lends a hand and squeezes all your hopes, your dreams
You say you retreat, you say you just can't win
Before you let your circumstance tell you how the story ends
His word says you can stand
He'll cover you with His grace
Everything you need is in your hand
All things are working for me even things I can't see
Your ways are so beyond me
But You said that You would let it be for my good
So I'll rest and just believe
I know you think you've got it bad right now
But let me say I know that feeling well
To make good plans for life
And then watch them take a downward spin
Let me encourage you while I encourage me
He sees the raging rain and wind
But He'll speak peace and it will come to an end
The truth is He cannot lie
I'm in His hands and I'm on his mind
He promised me He'd always be there
So by faith He will answer my prayer
All things are working for me even things I can't see
Your ways are so beyond me
But You said that You would let it be for my good
So I'll rest and just believe
Many days and nights I cried
Because I felt let down, let down, let down
But I won't always receive good, I know
But a praise in my heart will remain, oh
So with tears in our eyes
Know sometimes it will get rougher
But say, Lord, I love you more
And that is enough to know
All things are working for me even things I can't see
Your ways are so beyond me
But You said that You would let it be for my good
So I'll rest and just believe
[?] everything, you must believe
Even things I can't see
Your ways are so beyond me
But You said that You would let it be for my good
So I'll rest and just believe

This song brings me back to a time when I was super excited about what Jesus had just did, Lord knows I couldn't contain it. I received the gift of the HOLY GHOST and that miserable life of sin was long forgotten! Thank you Jesus for bringing me back to that place, where I know that all things are working for my good no matter what I've gone through these past ten years as your daughter, or what I see in front of me! It's all for my good! I love you Jesus!
