Vytal MC born Jason Johnson debuted on the DC music scene. Vytal first became a follower of Christ in the summer of 2002. He chose the name Vytal MC because his artistic approach always incorporates the message of the Gospel, which is the foundational truth that one cannot live without. He’s quite passionate about Street evangelism, discipleship and impacting his community.
Vytal MC latest album, Grace Plus Truth, is a transformative journey through faith which blends high energy trap beats with profound theological insights. This album was inspired by a book which is a companion to the album, and it serves as the soundtrack to the book. Something simple that metamorphosed into an entire musical concept album.
Grace Plus Truth is far beyond just an album, it is a revelation on how to walk in faith and freedom by exploring Salvation, Holiness and the Christian life. It takes the listener through a transformative experience centered around Faith, Salvation and the Joy of living in Christ.
If you’re a fan of High energy trap sounds of artists like Travis Scott, Juice Wrld, Migos amongst others or you appreciate the lyrical depth of Lecrae, KB and Andy Mineo, you’ll find the album bridging both worlds seamlessly.
The album deeply resonates with those who are hungry for authenticity, hope and transformation. Basically, anyone navigating their Faith journey or seeking answers in a complex world. Each track addresses significant topics that reflect real world struggles and victories.
