"Cornhusker Kid" is a music endeavor aimed at highlighting all that is fun and good about Nebraska Cornhusker Football. KID is part comedy/part commemorative. It is a product written to be fun yet serious; wacky yet thoughtful; irreverent yet contemplative and genuine when it comes to honoring Nebraska traditions. Most projects about the Nebraska Cornhusker Football experience tend to be written in the country, folk, and rock music styles. Cornhusker Kid is bound to be a collector's album because it is the first major product to be successfully done in an Urban, Hip-Hop vein. The following endorsement of the product was given by 1972 Heisman Trophy Winner Johnny Rodgers: “Franklin Thompson has successfully captured the urban Cornhusker spirit. He is a talented musician and an inspiration for Nebraska fans of all ages.” In addition, 1994-95 National Championship quarterback Tommie Frazier had this to say: “Every time I get in my car, my kids want me to play the music CD entitled the Cornhusker Kid. It is a testament of how Franklin Thompson has captured the spirit of Cornhusker Football. Go Big Red!” Cornhusker Kid was purposely written to reach a wide audience.

It borrows equally from old and new school approaches. The Selah Sound can be described as a "thinking man's style of music" that also encourages listeners to dance. The goal of the Selah Sound is to promote positive values as an effective counterbalance against negative and narcissistic choices of living. This particular project showcases a more light-hearted, tongue-and-cheek form of the genre, while other projects released by Franklin Thompson seek to address important social issues with the goal of ushering in a new era of healthy social justice living. Franklin Thompson makes no claims to be an award winning writer or singer. He has no delusions of grandeur, and knows there are plenty of people in the world that can outdo him in both areas. Still, he has a unique way of co-mingling educational and social goals with an entertainment mindset that sets him apart from others. Famed DJ Chris Manak (aka, Peanut Butter Wolf) once said that Thompson was a G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) when it came to assessing independent, unsigned artists. In addition to owning his own record label (Titus-Vision Records), he is also signed with Chris Manak's California based Stone's Throw record label.
