Heralded by GospelCity.com as "Christian hip hop’s most distinguished and gifted freshman," the multi-instrumentalist and pop/urban singer learned his craft in the clubs of Chicago before working as choreographer for Aaliyah and later a dancer with Arrested Development. Cale Nelson of WHRZ/Spartanburg, SC says, “Shonlock is the future of CHR Radio.”
An important emerging voice on the new spirit-filled pop & urban scene, Deshon "Shonlock" Bullock takes his sonic inspiration from R&B and contemporary pop and rock music, finding a high energy groove in the fields of the Lord. A master showman who sold more than 15,000 CDs out-of-trunk to newly converted fans at his concerts, Shonlock shares his connection to God's love, and his love of God's music, with his audience every time he hits the stage.
Arrow Records recording artist Shonlock has hit the ground running in 2011 and has been invited to open for the Christian Grammy-winning hip-hop pop-rocker TobyMac on the cutting edge touring extravaganza "TobyMac Church and Winter Wonder Slam January-April 2011.

Review.| Posted June 21, 2011
I had heard about Shonlock, when he toured with TobyMac. So I sorta knew who he was when NRT got this album for free to listen to. I, personally, am not a huge fan of Rap in general (TobyMac is where I draw the line, lol.), so this album didn't really stand out to me. I liked the first song, "Something in Your Eyes", but to me, the album kinda regressed. A few of the songs actually sounded like they would be secular.. Which I'm not super fond of. If you like Lecrae, or someone on those lines, I'm sure you'll love this album. I, myself, was kinda dissapointed with this album. Wishing Shonlock all the best, though.
Shonlock's album review| Posted June 21, 2011
Beaautiful urban and unforgatable musical hooks to keep you bobbing your head all the way. I aprticularly love the opening track, Something in your eyes. It's kinda like a love song to God. It brings the Creator close to the listener.
Altogether, the album is one for today's young people. Very energetic and pulsating urban music. A good listen full of edifying lyrics.
