Chart-Topping Christian Rapper Also Comments on Lecrae, Birdman, Lil’ Kim, and More

Hip-hop artist Thi’sl (né Travis Tremayne Tyler) joined the Faithfully Podcast crew and kept it one hundred in their conversation about how God used a murder charge to help him find his way to Christ, part of his redemption story that is chronicled in his latest project (a book and CD), Against All Odds.

In addition to talking about his transition from being a gangbanger and dope dealer to a man now on mission in the hood for Christ, Thi’sl shares his thoughts on Christian hip-hop and how some artists, such as Lecrae, face challenges in trying to appeal to a wider audience while tied to a core Christian fanbase.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the topics discussed in Faithfully Podcast episode 7:

1:18 – “What happened with the murder charges?”
