Review by Iris Acevedo

Album Review: Chronicles Of An X Hustler by Thi'sl Thi'sl’s Chronicles Of An X Hustler isn't your run-of-the-mill hip-hop album. Released in 2009 under Infinity Music Distribution, this project dives deep into the intersection of rap and gospel, blending gritty storytelling with unapologetic faith. For fans of Christian rap or anyone who appreciates raw lyricism with a purpose, this album is worth a spin—or three. The genres here are clear-cut: Rap, Hip Hop, and Hip-Hop/Rap—but it's the styles that make this record stand out. Gospel, Christian Rap, and Contemporary Christian vibes thread through each track, creating something both reflective and hard-hitting. It’s like church meets the block, and honestly? That combo works. Now, let’s talk tracks. One standout is “I Ain’t Turning Back (feat. Flame).” This song hits different because of its relentless energy and message of redemption. Thi'sl teams up with Flame to deliver bars that feel urgent yet hopeful. The beat punches hard enough to keep heads nodding, but the lyrics anchor you in something deeper—a promise to stay committed to growth despite life’s chaos. If you’ve ever felt stuck between your past and future, this one will resonate. Another track I can’t forget is “Baby Girl (feat. Pastor AD3).” It’s vulnerable, real, and packed with emotion. Thi'sl tackles themes of love, loss, and regret over a soulful instrumental. The feature from Pastor AD3 adds an extra layer of authenticity, making the track feel more like a conversation than just another verse. Songs like this remind us that hip-hop doesn’t always have to flex—it can heal too. One thing about Chronicles Of An X Hustler is how layered it feels. Tracks like “Set The Scene - Lil Homie” and “Still Standing Here (feat. Fitzgerald)” offer glimpses into Thi'sl’s journey without spoon-feeding listeners. There’s repetition across some interludes, which might feel unnecessary at first listen, but they actually build a narrative arc. You get the sense he’s not just rapping—he’s telling his story. What surprised me most about this album was its emotional weight. A lot of Christian rap leans preachy or overly polished, but Thi'sl keeps it grounded. He’s not afraid to show flaws while pointing toward hope. And yeah, sure, there are moments where the production feels dated (it is 2009, after all), but that only adds charm. Final thought? Listening to Chronicles Of An X Hustler feels like sitting down with someone who’s been through it all and lived to tell the tale. By the time the last track fades out, you’re left thinking—one man’s hustle might look messy, but even messy lives can point toward grace. Who knew rap could preach so loud without yelling?
