Two Race Street
My man A.T. (RedRev, partner in Lions and Liars) called me sometime back with the exciting news of having the opportunity to travel to South Africa (Cape Town) next week to mutually encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ. He created a curriculum that was picked up by Lifeway to challenge believers to accept one another the way that GOD sees… Continue »
Loosening my grip
During our last tour (Don’t Waste Your Life ’09) we had the opportunity to bring our personal commentary to John Piper’s Book of the same title. This blog is my personal commentary on chapter 4 “Magnifying Christ Through Pain and Death.” Chapter 4 When my father passed away, the last thing I wanted to hear was, “He’s in a better… Continue »

The 5 SOLAS Mixtape
It’s not often that I get excited about mixtapes. Most times, mixtapes are terrible. Sometimes, I find that artists use mixtapes as an excuse to put out music without having the proper accountability to make a quality product. All that to say, “Step Your Mixtape Game Up!” On a positive note, I am actually excited to speak on my man… Continue »

Are you defined by your “Living” or...
What does it mean to be a Lion? By my definition, a lion is one who masters their arena for the glory of Jehovah. They don’t allow the world’s definition of success to guide them down a road of greed, selfishness and perversion.

Lessons from Capetown
I used to be the person who would always slam American Christianity and proclaim that other countries had it together. I no longer shout that with great conviction (Now, I just whisper it). I have noticed that each country, people, sub culture, hemisphere, and tribe has a particular way of doing things that would be hard to justify with scriptures…. Continue »
Kareem Manuel a.k.a. Katalyst

A few of Sho Baraka’s close friends have decided to assemble to create a production company that brings creativity, production, writing and direction to artists who don’t have label or executive producers to support them. Just recently, Lions and Liars linked up… Continue »

The Question – Guest Post
The following is a guest post from Damon Sumner I looked at some of my facebook pictures not too long ago and was yet again—disgusted. Literally, disgusted. I took a stroll down memory lane and realized that over the last year I had grown from a not-so-tall, adorable guy into a sloppy, man-breasted troll. (For everyone who tagged me on… Continue »
