Bio
Some call it Christian Rap, Gospel rap, or Holy Hip Hop. As long as it ministers, it's MINISTRY! Keepin it real! Shanell Henry, a female holy hip hop artist from the Capitol City Lansing, Michigan known as "Mizz Reality" expressed a profound interest in the art of hip-hop at an early age. Back when JJ Fad was supersonic, MC Lyte was lyte as a rock, and Salt n Peppa was pushin it, "Mizz Reality" was making good use of a pen and pad, writing lyrics of her own.
"Mizz Reality" released a secular album in October of 2002, under AZ One Entertainment, an independent record label ran by both her and her husband. "Mizz Reality" received lots of positive feedback, as well as support from the album. However, "Mizz Reality" wasn't keeping it REAL! God had been calling her to serve Him. Using the album as an excuse, "Mizz Reality" was hardening her heart and rebelling against his calling. Shortly after the release of the album, her desire to perform and write had begun to fade. What she once put before God, she gave up and submitted to Him wholeheartedly; ready to begin her new life in Christ.
On fire for the Lord, the gift that "Mizz Reality" had put shelf began to stir up inside of her, but this time for the Lord. "Mizz Reality" now knows what her purpose was all along. God has given her lyrics that convict the loss and promote the kingdom.
She took first place in the semi-finals; Chicago region, in the 2004 Exalting Him national talent search hosted by TBN and Daywind Records, where over 2,000 entrants entered. She has also featured on Bobby Jones New Artist Showcase. Mizz Reality is a member of MGHHA and UGA. She has opened up for well-known gospel artists such as: Vickie Winans, Yolanda Adams, Canton Jones, Ambassador, 116 Clique, and Ki-Ki Sheard to name a few. Mizz Reality's love for youth has allowed her to minister at various youth rallies, along with motivational speaking at a number of public and Christian schools.
Living her purpose in God, Mizz Reality respectfully aspires to preserve the art of hip-hop for future generations, in a holy way. Her ultimate goal is to evangelize through music, giving God all the glory, honor and praise. Just keeping it real, enjoy life being a Christian, and staying crunk for Christ! Seeking Him first and His righteousness!
