Ty:Im from Dallas, TX, I accepted the call about 2 & 1/2 yrs ago

B.Holy:When did you accept your call to the ministry and how did it happen?

Ty:Well I was rapping before I got saved just not for God, so when I got saved I was going to give it up. I just wanted to live for Jesus so about 3 months into being saved the Holy Spirit started to deal with me about using the gift that God had given me so on night I was like I dont even know what to write, so I said Lord use me how you see fit & that night I wrote my first gospel Hip Hop song titled Im on Fire!!!,

B.Holy:Why do you think that we are seeing more holy hip hop artist come on the scene?

Ty:To be honest I think God is raises up a people real people who not afraid to get his word out & be amongst people who are really hurting & he is using a Genre of music that is the most influential there is.

B.Holy:Tell us about your upcoming project?

Ty:Well im working on a new project called Gods Approval, I believe that every song on this upcoming project has been inspired by the Holy Ghost & the anointing is going to destroy the yokes of those who may be in bondage.

Ty:I go to Greater Mt Olive COGIC under the leadership of Leonard Fields & I currently serve as Youth Minister.

B.Holy:The secular rap scene for the dfw area doesn't seem to have longevity. Do you think it could be different for holy hip hop?

Ty:Well music & differen types of music are going to come & go on the secular side, but what God has ordained he'll see to it that it has longevity, but there will be Holy hip hop artist who will not last because they will be in it for the wrong reasons & I must say this, our main focus should be winning souls not popularity, if winning souls is the focus it will be different very different.

B.Holy:What impact do you hope to make?

Ty:I want people to say that not only did he rap about it but he also lived it & lives were changed by the gift that God gave me.

B.Holy: You got any shoutouts?

Ty:First to God for showing me that I have a purpose in life, to my Mother who never stop praying on my behalf, to my pastor & first lady who allow me to operate within my gift, & to everyone Ive ever meet that has either been changed by the gift God has given me and has encouraged me along the way in this walk.
