L’Esprit follows a narrative and a character that is loosely based on ToBy himself and is his most personal work to date. The album deals with heavy topics such as depression, anxiety, grief, lost romance, and self-doubt, all while presenting catchy and memorable tracks that will get stuck in one’s head with ease.
L’Esprit, which translates to The Spirit, is also an ode to ToBy’s late grandma who passed away from cancer in 2019. ToBy was extremely close to his grandma, as she helped raise him and always supported his musical journey when others in ToBy’s life did not (ToBy’s parents were immigrants from Haiti and did not understand why anyone would want to be a rapper for a living.ToBy’s grandma had to talk to them to get them to understand his passion). After receiving news of her cancer diagnosis in 2019, ToBy decided that he needed this record to pay tribute to the woman who helped him so much over the years. You can hear her voice on the record as a narrative guide, which was taken from a six minute convo ToBy recorded with her shortly before her passing.
