The Gentle Men is an American musical duo that blossomed from the creative minds of American YouTuber Charlie "cr1tikal" White, known as Charles Christopher White Jr., and the talented New Zealand musician Troy McKubre, who is also recognized as Solstate. Their journey as a duo began in 2019, despite residing on opposite sides of the globe, with White in the United States and McKubre in New Zealand.

This innovative network emerged as a haven for online content creators, offering valuable resources such as brand deals and legal support to foster their growth and success.
On the 5th of July, 2021, White surprised his ever-loyal fan base by revealing yet another creative endeavor—the launch of a captivating graphic novel series entitled GODSLAP. Collaborating with esteemed author Stephanie Phillips and accomplished artist Ricardo Jaime, White unleashed his imagination onto the pages of this thrilling literary work, which was masterfully published by Meatier Productions.
