Why this name?
We learn through the Bible that the The Holy-Spirit, the Spirit of God dwells in (the true believers) Christians after conversion. Our bodies are the temple of God's Spirit (The Holy-Spirit). This House I Shall Live, (Thi'sl)my body is a house for THE HOLY-SPIRIT. The more I sought the Lord in the beginning of my walk with him I began to pray on what to call myself (artist wise). And the more the Lord revealed Himself to me through his word (the Bible), throgh revelation of his word and through the confirmation of people, there came Thi'sl. It's like my personal convenant with God, His Spirit is with me and I go forth in that manner.
Do you play live?
Yes. Each time holds a special moment of its own.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It puts the hottest music right at the click of a button. ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THAT CATS BE BOOTLEGGIN. CUT IT OUT!!!!!!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
YES I WOULD, BUT I WOULD'NT SIGN WITH JUST ANY LABEL. ALOT OF KEY THINGS WOULD HELP ME MAKE THAT DECISION.

Interview with Thi’sl
The narrator: Who is Thi’sl?
Thi’sl: In the eyes of the world, I’m probably just another kid off the streets that knows how to rhyme over beats. Though I know I have a purpose and only through God did I find that purpose.
The narrator: What’s your purpose?
Thi’sl: As an artist to make tight music, as a person to reverence God my creator with my music and my life and first and foremost to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The narrator: How did you go from the lifestyle one would live in the streets, to church?
Thi’sl: I always knew that God was real but I was so caught up on trying to survive and “having fun” that change was pushed so far back in my mind. In 1999 though God moved in my life so hard that I couldn’t do nothing respond. I stopped everything for God even rap, (well almost everything.) It wasn’t easy, at that time I had fam Trell from New York talking about getting me signed plus I was putting a CD together, I was doing shows getting all love from the streets but, none of it was satisfying.
The narrator: Wasn’t it hard to get so close to seeing your dream about to happen then stop?
Thi’sl: It was hard for more than one reason. I had just lost my cousin (Tank) around this time, which was one of the life changing events. (One of my so called friends murdered him in front of half my hood and fam.) A few weeks before he died he told me, “Don’t ever stop rapping.” I had my friends and fam telling me, “you tripping.” I had my partner that had been helping me financially, I had to expect him to understand and on top of that, I loved rapping, I had been rapping since I was about 11 or twelve. So, for a while I was still doing it, until it got to the point that I started disliking the very songs I was writing.
The narrator: Why couldn’t you continue to rap and go to church?
Thi’sl: It’s not just about going to church; the Bible teaches us that our lifestyle must also match the word, so that’s what killed it. Fam, I’ve written a lot of songs and none of them move me like the ones about the gospel because I know God inspires them. Not just that, when I spit now I leave people with something, something life changing. I know now I was put here to help change the problem, not to let it change me and definantly not to be a part of it, that’s Thi’sl.
Since conversion and sitting down to learn the Gospel, Thi’sl has been active in ministry using his gifts and talents to edify the Church as well as evangelize to the lost spitting the gospel at high schools, prisons, youth events, etc. Glory to God!
