Why this name?
Shaolin is in my Blood; It has been my name always. Shao Sosa comes from Shao (obviously short for Shaolin); and Sosa, referring to Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs. So my moniker becomes Shao Sosa The Home Run Hitter. If you need more of an explanation, you are slow and should be studying general classwork instead of surfing the internet.
Do you play live?
All over the Northwest with schedule changing on venues and tour dates.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The net is a two sided blade, with established artists struggling to maintain due to bootlegging; and underground artists on the other end possessing an accessible promotional super tool.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That is the idea., given the right contract.

Your influences?
BIG, Rakim, e-40, old school soul, bangin' beats and soulful melodies. My biggest influence comes from life itself, with the souls of my turf war comrades speaking through me. I have also been licensed and appointed as an ambassador of street politics by OG's from my district. I humbly accept my task to voice the will of the starving. Ask about me.
Favorite spot?
the blocks of Pasco, Washington State
