Today's music rarely presents a legitimate combination of talent, virtue, optimism, and intelligence, but the originality and masterful skills laid down by this trio of brilliant brothers tells a much different tale.
Through hard work, perseverance, and pure hustle, Maryland natives, Gods'Illa, consisting of Truth Hall, Acem Hall, and Powerful Aguliar, deliver an album packed with wise words, incredible truths, and a unique vision. It's not that we haven't heard politically, socially, culturally, or emotionally passionate tales before, but the powerful lyrics, nostalgic suggestions, and infectious beats spread across multiple tracks, is impressive to say the least.
The hunger of these artists is prominent and apparent. Listeners hear it in every word, of every line, on every track. Their words chronicle struggle, celebration, reality, and hopefulness, all of which make them believable. The typical hood clichés are left at the door and listeners are authentically entertained by a striking flow of depth and lyricism from start to finish. Where other artists lend exaggerations or seek empathy from their listeners, these men seek betterment, hoping to motivate and inspire rather than simply impress and overly amplify.
There ain't no fluff here -- just artists with a true gift, a genuine passion, a love for music, and a positive message. Gods'Illa doesn't attempt to force you into adopting a new reality; they just want to make you aware of their reality and further inspire you to reassess your own. Unlike many other hip-hop albums, there are no guns blasting, no trap house glory stories, or sexual promotions, simply MEN teaching other men (and women) how to be exceptional.
