Sho- New Future
Around this time, one year ago, I released my second album Lions and Liars under Reach Records. Four years ago, I officially became an artist on the label, although my friendship with all the artists and staff predates that time. Today, I bring news that is exciting, yet surprising and full of uncertainty.
I will no longer be an artist on the Reach Records label. It’s been a wonderful four years doing business with the Reach organization, and it’s also been a pleasure to communicate the center of our joy via Hip Hop. Through the years I have established friendships that will last a lifetime, both with Reach Records artists and staff.
I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to all who support my music and the other artists at Reach. I trust that the LORD will establish my plans as I commit my work to him.
It would be imprudent of me to think that this post would not bring speculation as well as gossip. I would encourage the reader to not pull out assumptions or exaggerations. That being said, here are a couple of things I would like to communicate:
- I will still be an artist with Reach Booking (www.reachbooking.com) and travel on certain group dates w/ other Reach artist thru 2011.
- I will continue to do concert dates and events thru 2011.
- I will be featured on Reach projects that will be released in 2011.
- If you have any desire to stay afloat with some of my dealings go to www.thisishigh.com.
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
Grace and Peace,
Amisho Baraka L.

Above all else allow God's will to be done in your life. I've been a dedicated fan and listener of the 116 Clique since 2006 and I always promote your music. I've grown in many ways spiritually with you all also and consider Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, and you Sho as my closet of brothers although I don't know you personally. May the Lord continue to guide you in all or your ways and continue to make all your paths straight. God Speed.

Immediate reaction is to feel sad that you're no longer with Reach but I know God will still use you for great things wherever He's taking you. Either way you've been a blessing.
And by the way, Liars Anthem is one of my favourite tracks of all time. God bless you bro, and thank you for giving yourself for His service

Thanks for the ministry you have done through your music with Reach Records. I look forward your next album with High Society, but until then, how about a Barakaology 2.0? Also, please schedule a tour date in Phoenix, AZ! Thanks again Sho!

Sho, your music has been a blessing to me and my walk with Christ. I look forward to what the Lord has in store for you and I am encouraged that you have the confidence to move onto new things that the Lord is calling you too even when you were already established in a Godly ministry. I look forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for you.
In Him,

Hey Sho, It is a sad thing Brother to see you leave, but as Believers we know no matter what happens it is inevitable 2 truly seperate us. I've neva met you but will in this life or the next. May God continue by His Grace to prosper you in so many ways and lead you. I would also love to do a track with you, lol-if God would arrange that. Be Good Brother. Much Love-your brother in Christ-Rob

Deeply saddening to read of this. But no matter who comes into or leaves Reach Records, lets remember that God hasnt left and He will continue to bless us through His ways. Amen.

Sho, I just want to express my love and support for you man. I really appreciate the truth, love, and passion that you displayed while with Reach and that you're gonna continue to display throughout 2011. I pray that God continues to build you up more in His love and truth! It has truly been a blessing to witness you at concerts and hear REAL truth through your music. Thank you man for allow God to use you as vessel to spread the word. Much love and blessings.

Aw man, I`ll cherish the heartfelt songs I have by you, and will be looking forward to the features you`ll be having this year. I know God`s going to use you in bigger and better ways as our time draws to a close, and I pray that Jesus will continue to help you bear whatever comes your way.
Just know that your ministry has impacted this life amidst all the sin and temptation that`s flying around (sometimes literally)
Blessings and peace

I thank you for being obedient to The LORD. If you ever wonder, just know you have made many disciples thru your music and it turned my life up and help me to see the call GOD had on my life, and helped me to see that its important to be happy while being a believer. I Truly thank you for that, i really do. GOD is with you wherever you go. Thank you Sho. Grace n Peace
