Canadian born Amisho Baraka Lewis aka Sho Baraka started his rap career with group 116 Clique but later started out on his own path with the debut CD in 2007 "Turn My Life Up"

and the sophomore project "Lions and Liars" 

released in 2010 reached #3 on the Billboard Gospel Charts. 

Continuing on the path of greatness Sho Baraka comes with the realness on his latest,"Talented Xth"

(presently #1 on the Billboard Gospel Charts) Sho Baraka delivers a 14 track disertation on life, love, the struggle, the good and the bad with a rawness that is relevant. He speaks truth with knife sharp tongue to a world who has ears that may not hear a Word otherwise.

"Talented Xth" pairs Sho Baraka's  reality styled lyricism with other talented virtuoso (Christion,Suzy Rock,Duce Banner,Tedashii,JR and more) 

Every track is a "no skipper" but there are some serious stand out cuts on "Talented Xth"

"Mrs"  Is his love song track. Sho Baraka speaks cadidly about the love between husband and wife in the vain of a modern day song of Soloman. Sho Baraka talks about the love of his bride and his "addiction" to her. It's the stuff that a Christian man and woman dream of when they say "I Do"

"Denzel" addresses the difference between men and boys class and swag. Stating what the true purpose of manhood while shining a light on the negative image attached to the pants sagging boys in big clothes who need to get a clue.

"Mahalia" busts the gate wide open with the opening sample of the familiar church wail.
One word AMAZING! Two words standing ovation.  Three words Go get it.
"Talented Xth" does for Holy Hip Hop what Lecrae's Rehab did a few years ago.
