Hip Hop music meets Latin flavour in this powerful debut single by L. Vision. Strong lyrics and passionate rhythm combine to create this new dance friendly masterpiece.

Featuring Chilean singer Latinaza along side Toronto's street sensation 2win Warrea Trillagy, this sensual song paints a pristine picture of pure pleasure, travel, wealth, romance and dance. Through Spanish infused beats under clever lyrics and smooth flow, these images culminate to reproduce the spark that ignites on the dance-floor during that first touch between potential lovers.

"Caramel Madness"

Lyrics: C. Davis
Production: Hustle Beats
Performed by: the SHOW DOCTOR, Latinaza and 2WIN WARREA TRILLAGY
Recorded and mixed at: Show Doctor Sound Services
Mastered by: Phil Demetro @ The Lacquer Channel - Hustlebeats.com

He says he is here to put the “show” back into Hip Hop; he wants to make it more fun. However, he's not interested in “clown rap” or becoming a “cookie-cutter party rapper”. The Show Doctor is about rising from struggle and enjoying the precious moments life has to offer.
His debut release, The End Of Being Broke reflects on his despair, hustle, intensity and ambition in his ascension to a life of comfort.
To him, being broke is not merely a thinly laced money clip, “It's having a shattered spirit, one who's will had been broken”.
Having been thrust onto the streets of Toronto in 2000 over excruciating circumstances involving deceit, backstabbing and the impending birth of his daughter, Davis then vowed never to go back.
But he has gone back, in a way.
He has returned to help embattled youth the way he wished more elders were there to help him find a stronger path along the way.
Davis has used his music to bring awareness to issues from HIV awareness, to teen pregnancy, to politics and poverty. His new album stays true to these messages. In songs like Go Ask Alice and Never Lose Your Way, he wears his heart on his sleeve, inviting his listeners to learn from his trials and tribulations, hoping that it may help at least one person avoid some of the pitfalls that trapped him in his younger days.
The Show Doctor hits the road to promote the album with the message that he “wants it to be the end of being broke for everyone. We're all rich.”

Ambitious for a comeback, emerging Toronto hip-hop artist the SHOW DOCTOR (Clinton Davis) has completed his latest album, entitled The End of Being Broke.

Formerly known as 'Lyrical Vision' on the city's underground music scene, Davis is set to release The End of Being Broke later this month in Toronto, calling the 19-track album his most powerful work to date
“It hit me rather hard while looking through my collection of lyrics from the past 12 years. It had been four years since I'd composed an album of my own, and the fact that I created it all within a three-week period made it a concentrated work of art, based on how I'm feeling right now, right at this point in my life," says Davis, while discussing his inspiration for the new album.

Graduating from Toronto's Harris Institute for the Arts in 2000, Davis has contributed to the urban music scene in Toronto not only as an independent hip-hop artist but also as a producer and engineer for several local musicians and professional theatre productions in the city. Some of his theatre experience includes shows at Elgin Theatre, Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People, Theatre Passé Muraille and Equity Showcase Theatre.

Davis is the founder and operator of Show Doctor Sound Services in Toronto - a recording and production service for artists with the drive to get their music out to fans, promoters, local radio stations, record labels and the Internet. He has received national recognition over the years from print, broadcast and online mediums including interviews with the Toronto Star, NOW Magazine, Toronto Life, Global Television and HipHopCanada.com.

“The first half of this album has more of a traditional, high energy, lyrics-heavy, underground hip hop feel to it, but toward the end, the album becomes softer, more thoughtful, reflective, conscious and uplifting. The underlying theme in this album is the mention of money, and the concept of being broke,” explains Davis, “This album takes the audience through the trials and tribulations I’ve encountered and signifies the positive changes I’ve made in my life; the end of being broke”.

Having done more than 30 live performances in venues across Toronto and Canada, Davis writes and records all of his songs himself, with the help of in-house producers and guest production.  With 25 mix tape contributions to date, along with guest appearances on other artists' albums, Davis is ready to take his talent to the next level with this release. - Deborah Waines, Rogers Television

“The Show Doctor”

Growth plays a major part in every artist’s craft, and the same can be said for The Show Doctor. His love for hip-hop began in the mid 90s, and has blossomed from there. Making music has also helped him realize there is more to rap than just putting rhyming words over beats. Seeing music in the state that it is in has opened his eyes to the possibilities of fusing his music and live shows with many other genres. “I’ve done electric remixes and punk music, and it surprises people. They come up to me after shows and say it is really refreshing to hear.” The Show Doctor himself is focused on not only giving listeners good music, but, as the name implies, a great live experience. Looking into the future, he wants to perform with ballerinas and even fire dancers.

For now, a new sound has been the focus for this artist. As he works on his second album, he continues to search for unique influences and sounds for this project. As he still performs 3 times a week, he also works very hard on bringing that new sound to life. - Shaun Bolden, eXcapethematriX.com

"The Show Doctor is a refreshing sound in the mix of a bleak hip-hop era. Combining his strong lyricism with a rare star quality, his presence is felt throughout his entire album."

- Tara Muldoon, HipHopCanada.com

“From the hard hitting raps on 'Babylon' to the self reflective verses of
'I Just Wanna Get That Paper', the Show Doctor's 'The End Of Being Broke'
LP takes the listener for a lyrical trip through the mind of one of rap music's
most imaginative emcees. The album takes music where most artists today
won't, proving the Show Doctor is as experimental as he is a lyrical monster.”
