We all know that Hip Hop is a very controversial topic, more so than its cultural roots. One thing I love about Hip Hop culture is the Underground Hip Hop Scene. The respect reaches much farther than the music as it spills over in the community. Many of the Underground Hip Hop artists speak about their upbringing, their hoods, the trials and tribulation that have often inspired them to write in the first place. I believe that the best way to redirect anger and control emotions is through the pen and pad. This juxtaposed irony is what captures our youth, not always killing them, rather this is what saves them. Young children learn quickly the shock value of Hip Hop, yet we often don't encourage them to examine the process of Hip Hop. The focus should be on how it all begins, the intention and motivation determines how it will end. Clarity Check Concert Series presented by Lady Hennyssi and Go DJ DreamKast aspires to show Hip Hop artist that process through artist development. This is what sets Clarity Check in a league of its own. Both dedicated veterans have been immersed and simmered in the juices of Hip Hop, creating cloths of knowledge, experience, and success. The mission of Clarity Check is simple…"Setting Trends. They are putting the scope on the premium undiscovered talent that exists underground, while staying devoted to allowing these artists to be seen and heard while at the same time being seen as potential instead of being labeled as underground.

My Clarity was certainly Checked after listening to artists such as Khalil Famous, QMane, Mixxed Foe Reason, B.A.B.S Squad and of course the Headliner Mista Shano. Before the concert begin I got a chance to sit down with Mista Shano and found that he is a very humble down to earth young man, hungry for what the music industry has for him. Mista Shano said that it all started for him with the desire to do something constructive and the decision to put it all together. His video for "Rep Yo Hood/Hi Hata!" shows just how well he put it all together. There you will find Houston's southern beats, rhythmic, repetitive and catchy phrases and that "bob" your head type of lyrical trigger. Growing up in South Park and on Long Dr., there is a strong connection with Wesley Square, an extension of South Park. This along with being raised in a family oriented home with lots of love has influenced his lyrics and determination to strive. He affirms that he was no neighborhood hardhead, but did get into typical mischief that halos over any young boy's head. Mista Shano is musically influenced by DMX and Master P in that they showed him musically to just be yourself, and create your own sound. He has covered alot of ground in his career as an artist. He has worked with Krazeo of 713 Label, Element the Rapper, and Lil Kee of Major League Entertainment. He plans to collaborate Lil KeKe and Lil Flip both of whom he attended school with (Jones and Fondren Middle, respectively). When I asked Mista Shano what it meant to him being the Headliner of Clarity Check Concert Series 2. He said that it "means a great deal" because he had stopped performing to take care of his family and when he heard of the opportunity, he jumped on it. "God put me in a position one more time and I took it..." Since re-emerging on the Underground scene, he has become his own CEO. He heads Major League Entertainment Studios located at 6400 Benmar in Historic Greenspoint. He is currently working on his release album entitled L.I.F.E. Living In Fast Environments and states he has a Wes Connect sound. Mista Shano is an ambitious, diligent, artist setting his own limits and doing his own thing. You can follow Mista Shano on:
