Christian Hip Hop Artist Shonlock & Arrow Records Make a Deal

Arrow Records Officially Announce The Signing of Gospel Music Rap Artist Shonlock

Deshon Bullock aka gospel hip-hop artist Shonlock, has been signed by Creflo Dollar’s Arrow Records. Shonlock has worked with some of secular and Christian music’s most popular acts, from Aaliyah, Arrested Development, Grammy-nominated duo Grits, Kierra “Kiki” Sheard and Trinitee 5:7 as a dancer, choreographer, and lyricist. He is currently touring with Grammy winner TobyMac.

Now based in Atlanta, Shonlock’s study and hard work with Christian music’s biggest stars have paid off with his highly anticipated new album. Featuring 12 tracks with Shonlock’s creative blend of influences from soul, rock, and hip hop, his new album is sure to make waves in furthering the spiritually-conscious hip hop movement. Grammy-nominated producers David “Da Monsta” Lynch and Ric “Form” Robbins oversee the 12 tracks on the new album, which includes appearances from The Katinas and Trinitee 5:7.

In the video above, Shonlock touches on the ill-fated union he had with Word Records that didn’t work out because of difference in vision. You can read more about that chapter in his life at Gospel City.

I’m looking forward to the new album when it comes out. New gospel music is always good!

3. The good folks over at CBN reviewed the film Not Easily Broken and they said, “The film’s point about the importance of faith in our lives and our relationships clearly shines through. It will also most likely reach an audience that would never dare to watch a “Christian” film like Fireproof, and that’s a good thing. For me, the film’s redeeming message far outweighs any negative elements that it contains. But that’s a decision individual moviegoers will have to make on their own.” Have you seen it? What do you think?
