Troy Sneed and his Emtro Gospel label is enjoying a very good 2007. The former FAMU football star just won his first Stellar award for Youth for Christ's "The Struggle is Over."The song which spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Gospel songs chart a few weeks ago, was written by Jonathan Nelson & Justin Savage. Nelson narrates the song and Sneed closes it with his powerful singing voice.

At the same time, Emtro came in ahead of gospel superstar Kirk Franklin's Fo Yo Soul and CeCe Winans' Pure Springs Gospel labels – a huge fete.
