Artist description What sets the Greatest Threat aside from many hip-hop and rap artists of this day, can be subdivided into 2 categories: style and content. This young man brings intellectual thoughts into their lyrical format, although he expresses himself in a very urban manner. In many aspects it is a “breath of fresh air” in comparison to many rappers of this generation. The content of the material that he provides, is typically suitable for any age or gender, and does not border on racial hostility. What this talented young artist brings to the hip-hop scene is both necessary and wanted, and cannot be ignored.

Artist History Gil Thompson who goes under the alias of G.T or Greatest Threat, has been involved with music since the age of 8, using his vocal talent as a relief from stress. His early childhood was predominately spent in urban Philadelphia. He continued to sing through high school participating and winning various talent shows. His talent was often noticed at his church where he was given various solo parts to hymnals. G.T always loved music but his true calling came after being challenged to a lyrical battle during his senior year of high school. He began to write a battle verse, and then realized that the contrast with singing and rapping are very opposite; it was then that he decided he would attempt to master both arts. He claims, “rap is truly an art form and many people have forgotten that fact.” The style that he brings as opposed to other mainstream rappers, is that of; intellectual concepts with urban tones. The Greatest Threat is committed to have his voice, thoughts, and rhymes reach the mainstream level, and is determined enough to have those dreams come true
