Grammy winning gospel artist TobyMac has released his first studio album after the death of his 21 year old son Truett.
The death of his son blurred the creative spark for Grammy winning artist TobyMac for close to three years as he did not release any music in that time.
His son Truett an aspiring rapper died of an accidental drug overdose while TobyMac was on a tour in Canada. In an interview with Good Morning America, TobyMac said that in that moment, he “broke down drown into tears and on his knees asked the caller if he was sure about 25 times”.
TobyMac’s new album; Life After Death is a tribute to his son. It is a sad and yet hopefully album. The track ‘everything about you’ which features TobyMac’s daughter Marlee and ’21 years’ highlights the sorrow of a father who has lost his son and a family who have lost their love and yet the tracks ‘Help is on the way’ and ‘faithfully’ epitomizes the faith and hope we must have even in the worst of circumstances.
You were there faithfully when I cried to you, Jesus you made a way for me, I may never be the same man, but I’m a man who still believes
a line from the track faithfully

This 15 track album will take you through a rollercoaster of emotions and in the end give you hope about the life after that we have come to believe, a hope that tells us to rest, take a breath and push aside the noise
The album was released on August 19, 2022 and can be found on all streaming platforms
