TobyMac’s 21-Year-Old Son Truett Died of an Accidental Overdose of 2 Substances, Rep Confirms

TobyMac Used Music to Help Process His Grief

Earlier this month, TobyMac also released a new song in memory of the 21-year-old.

The track entitled “21 years” is a raw depiction of the Christian rapper’s grief journey since the loss of his son.

“What started out as getting some of my thoughts and feelings about losing my firstborn son down on paper, ended up a song,” said TobyMac. “’21 Years‘ is a song I never wanted to write. I hope it’s for someone out there, or maybe it’s just for me.”
