His Style is a mix of complex wordplay of high metaphorical caliber and still versatile enough to give the crowd many different musical flavors. He works hard so that one day, if blessed with the chance, he can take hip hop to the next level with revolutionary sound and die-hard true hip hop lyricism that will start a new wave of musical genius.

Album description = Gil Thompson used samples from the classic God of War video game franchise to create a concept album. The albums title "Gods At War" has a few meanings. The 1st being an obvious play on words to pay homage to the game. 
The 2nd meaning represents the competitive spirit of an elite emcee, going to war with other "rap gods"through creativity, taking a claim for the throne by musically trying to surpass their legacy.
The 3rd meaning is about self realization and putting your life into perspective. It's about looking around, being fully aware of your situations and asking yourself "What governs my life? Or better yet "What is the God of my life? is it a higher being? is it materialistic possessions? Most people don't know or are too busy to realize that whatever it is that is the "God" of our lives, its at "War" with our own inner conflict.
