Visit www.lifepromotions.com TobyMac's Third Remix Album, "Dubbed and Freq'd" Releases After receiving five GRAMMY® awards, countless other accolades, and with album sales in excess of 10 million, it's no surprise that critics and fans alike bravoed superstar TobyMac upon the release of Dubbed & Freq'd: A Remix Project, his first remix album in seven years. Fusing his signature rock-pop, hip-hop and urban styles with a treatment of today's electronic music uprising, the album offers an outstanding new interpretation of 12 of Toby's classics to an incredibly wide audience. Immediately upon release, the album made its debut at No. 2 on the iTunes® Christian & Gospel Albums chart. "For remix records, an artist can be very involved or back off, and for me it's the latter," Toby explains. "For all of my remix records, I choose the producers and remixers and let them do their thing. Then I either say 'yes' or push back with 'what if you did this or that?' The way I see it, I've already taken my shot at the songs and put the recipe together." Sent By Raven New Video for "We're all Liars!" See video HERE! Manafest's New Video Premiere For "Pushover!"
