Moses “Shyne” Barrow was a rising star in the New York hip-hop scene. The protégé of the now infamous Sean Combs, his career was cut short after a nightclub shooting that resulted in his arrest, somewhat questionable conviction and ultimately deportation back to his home country of Belize in 2009 after serving nine years of his 10-year prison sentence.

After his deportation, Shyne continued to produce music. But he also began a transformation that included a formal conversion to Orthodox Judaism, a process he had begun during his prison sentence. This personal transformation continues today, with Shyne now an elected member of the Belize House of Representatives and Leader of the Opposition, a powerful role in the House. Watch "The Honorable Shyne" to examine the rise, fall and remarkable rise again of Shyne Barrow.
