After his spiritual transformation and short stint with Aaliyah, Lock began to choreograph shows for some of the Christian industry..s most noted talent. He added the electrifying spark to shows for Grammy nominated duo Grits, Word recording artist Nicole C. Mullen and The Katinas. It was during this transition period that Lock was picked up by industry veteran Toby Mac as a touring hype man and choreographer, a position which he still holds today. While on the road with the industry..s top headlining artists, Lock recorded a self-produced hip hop project which sold more than 15,000 units. The out-of-the-trunk numbers Lock obtained were solid enough to grab the attention of several labels and the bidding war began. However, in December of 2005 Lock signed with Nashville-based Word Records, making him the first hip hop artist signed by the label.
Lock has made significant contributions in the past couple of years, scoring hits with the recording industry..s most bankable artists. His lyrical credits are showcased on: EMI..s Kierra ..KiKi.. Sheard..s Just Until remix CD, Trinitee 5:7..s upcoming 2006 Gospo Centric release, Toby Mac..s Renovating Diverse City, Verbs Unlocked CD, and EMI upstart group V3..s 2006 release. With his untitled inaugural Word release complete, the label..s ..1 draft pick continues to tour with Toby Mac while making a string of solo appearances in preparation for his 2007 release.
The project features 12 scorching tracks produced by Two Grammy nominated producers David ..Da Monsta.. Lynch and producer Ric "Form" Robbins. The soul and rock influenced CD includes appearances from The Katinas and Trinitee 5:7, which bring a welcomed diversity to the strong lyrical delivery by Lock. His unique sound is sure to resonate with multi-cultural audiences who have long awaited a solid offering from a spiritually-conscious hip hop artist.

Shonlock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heart beats fast surrender
One last chance to let go forever
Make my move to show you
I want to get to know you
With every step
Towards you forever
Cuz i'm to close to just give up
Im way to close to just give up
Ive got to know to know your love
And well remember tonight
When our two worlds collide
And we'll remember tonight
As we lay it all out on the line
You're taking me higher
Feel like its only us
You got me on fire
There aint no better love
Ohh higher
It feels like its only us
likest only us
And we'll remember tonight
ohhh
for the rest of our life
ohhh
Never felt so anxious
Here with you weightless
Here I am closer then ever
Wake me up in the moon light
I wanna see through your eyes
Take me in stronger then ever
Cuz im to close to just give up
I got to know to know your love
Im way to close to just give up
I've got to know to know your love
And we'll remember tonight
ohhh
for the rest of our life
ohhh
In the song "A Night To Remember," Shonlock describes the excitement and anxiousness that comes with being close to someone you love.

The metaphor of being on fire suggests a passionate and intense love, while the imagery of being weightless suggests a feeling of freedom and complete trust.
In the second verse, the singer asks to be taken in by the other person even stronger than before, and they express a desire to see the world through the other person's eyes. The song ends with a promise to remember this moment for the rest of their lives.
Overall, "A Night To Remember" is a romantic and passionate song about the excitement of falling in love and the desire to know someone deeply.
