Demo
Born in Greenwood to finally move to St. Louis he discovered rap at the age of fourteen and when he was sixteen years old he made his first demo.
But Uncle Y as he was called then got involved in crime and the hardships of a streetlife.
Battle
His rap career got a boost by winning a battle from a famous local rapper called L.O.S. of Bullet Proof Records. By that time he started making more contacts in the industry and even doing concerts, this kept him off the streets.
Shocked
When he lost his cousin and long time friend "Tank" Thi'sl was shocked and asked God why? Taking this route he met Flame on an evangelizing event in his neighbourhood.
Friend
Flame would become his friend and collegue in holyhiphop. Thi'sl took a year and a half to study the bible and made the choice to rap the gospel and be an instrument of God himself by doing concerts at churches, high schools, colleges and prisons.
Ezekiel Project
In 2006 Thi'sl started the Ezekiel Project and released a CD with the same title. Thi'sl sees rap music as an effective ministry tool to reach the youth with the gospel. Churches can buy the CD and hand them out. The vision of the project is based upon Ezekiel 37:4-5.
Release
In 2007 the rapper re-released his 2004 debut album This house I shall Live, with additional new tracks.
New project
The rapper is currently working on his next project "The Chronicles of an X-Hustler".
Thi'sl, on X Hustler music, is from St. Louis. He is a Christian rapper with style influenced by Flame, Cross movement, and Lecrae.

Me and you, we got history together ma, we been knowin each other for a while now, man we go back, we go back like Saturday morning cartoons all mornin, and I done put you through a lot of stuff man, after everything we went through, you stuck wit me
We have a long-standing relationship, and despite the challenges we faced, you stayed with me.
(That's my baby) (That that's my baby) And that's why, the whole world knows, you are my baby girl
I proclaim proudly that you are mine.
(Hey!) If I'm asleep don't wake me up, this better than a good dream, she my gift from God so I call her my good thing, (she my baby girl)
I consider her my blessing from God and cherish her dearly.
I put that ring on her left hand, that ring on my left hand, go on and get the best man, I promised that day that we would spend our life together, this not a one night thing she'll be my wife forever, richer for poorer, sickness, whatever, go on and shut the door baby girl let's ride together
I have committed to spending my life with her, through thick and thin, and we will face life together as partners.
She's worth more than a crib, more than a car, more than the purse on her arm, she's my baby girl (baby girl), my baby girl (baby girl), you can take everything that I own, take my car, you can take my home, but leave my baby girl (baby girl), my baby girl (baby girl)
She is invaluable to me and I would rather lose everything else than lose her.
She stuck wit ya boy, I used to drive her crazy, I met her in the hood, but believe she's such a lady, she don't need no Mercedes, she'll ride in the Chevy, it really doesn't matter to her long as she wit me, and when they tried to catch me, that girl was there wit me, ready to hit the stand, ???, we got separated, God started to deal wit me, I went to church, she went to church, she got saved wit me, and when I'm on the planes, believe me she hold it down, the kids in the crib, believe me she hold it down, my baby prayin for me, believe she hold it down, she may not knew it then, believe me she know it now
She remained loyal to me through tough times, even when we were separated. We both turned to God and found salvation together. She supports me in all aspects of life and I appreciate her unwavering devotion.
Always second to God, my baby she comes first, and trust me, this is more than a verse, I been around the world, and I ain't seen nothing like her, she's everything I need, and so your boy had to wife her (for real)
Although God is my top priority, she is second only to Him and is everything I need in a partner. She is unique and incomparable, and I had to make her my wife.
We done done it all, we done even trapped together, popped doty out the house???, and bagged sacks together
We have been through everything together, including difficult situations and even illegal activities.

This is an incredible testimony. It's so much more than a song. It's motivation to never give up on anyone.
