Portrait of a Warrior is the brainchild of the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Dr. Franklin Thompson, a professor of race and human relations. Don’t let his professional credentials scare you. Dr. T. is a “homeboy” who grew up in the projects; he knows how to keep it real. Portrait of a Warrior represents volume one of Thompson's greatest hits. The genius of Warrior, however, is that it proves that urban music doesn't have to be dumbed-down in order for it to be relevant.

Thompson (aka, François Jaboi and Goldenthroat) is one of independent music's leading writers of songs with a social message. He is also the architect of the genre of music known as the Selah Sound—a unique style of message music set to funk, pop, and hip-hop beats. The uniqueness of the Selah Sound is that it encourages you to think, while it also makes you dance. Thompson has a gift for taking conservative, moderate, and liberal lyrical themes and blending them into a powerful synergetic message of promise and positive change.
