At War is a compelling collaboration that pairs C-Blak’s authoritative vocals with Coolkruger’s unpolished lyrical intensity. The song delves into the themes of conflict, resilience, and survival by employing the metaphor of being “at war” to convey both personal and societal struggles. C-Blak establishes the tone with verses that are intense and unyielding, portraying the experience of overcoming adversity, whereas Coolkruger complements the mood with sharp lines that express determination and defiance.

Poizen and C-Blak have recently appeared on Jazz Yela alongside The Bless and Jay Sax.

The production is characterized by a dark and atmospheric sound, driven by powerful drums, prominent basslines, and intense percussive elements which produce a tense, battle-like ambiance. Instrumental accompaniments feature melodic elements that interweave with the music, adding dramatic flair and a cinematic texture that enriches the song’s narrative. The combination of instrumental and vocal elements gives the track an anthem-like quality, a message of resilience that encourages listeners to continue striving despite overwhelming adversity.

Beneath its confrontational exterior, At War has an emotional undertone — the struggle isn’t just about external barriers but also about inner resilience, personal conviction, and the determination not to be defeated. The song has a strong emotional connection with listeners who are dealing with their own difficulties, resulting in a unique blend of personal and shared experiences.
