Boy Gospel gives you more than music on his newest release, “All I Got,” and he delivers a rhythmic testimony of unabashed faith with conviction rooted at its core. Boy Gospel, also known as Frederic Robinson, has a history that is as intriguing as his work itself.
One of the most trying times in his life has become a standout moment, as evidenced by “All I Got,” a track from his album “By Grace.” Combining the unfiltered storytelling of hip-hop with the soul-cleansing vibes of gospel, it results in a rapturous sound as timeless as it is modern.
Boy Gospel is in his element, boasting modestly and laying down a confident flow over this one, but it’s the humility and thankfulness on which he roots all of his verses that really makes him shine here, as with almost anyone adverse to their own personal demons. Here, the sincerity in his voice elevates this song from a performance to something that feels like a direct, one-on-one conversation with the audience.
Boy Gospel, beyond music, is an honest reflection of the life he lives and the message he delivers. The husband of April for 17 years, father of Carli and Caylee, a Youth Pastor, and Principal in the Mobile County Public School System, his commitment to living out his faith is undeniable. But “All I Got” is an outpouring of the same message he has shared for years through his ministry and in his community, and faith in God isn’t just sufficient, it’s all you need. Boy Gospel beckons us to a God who can absolutely turn any storm into the most magnificent rainbow. It is about losing what we thought was most important, only to gain back Jesus, the one thing that can never be taken from us.
