Brand new sealed album from Toots and Co.
Got to Be Tough is a studio album by Jamaican reggae band Toots and the Maytals. It was released through Trojan Jamaica/BMG on 28 August 2020[2] and financed by Trojan Jamaica owner Zak Starkey, who also played guitar for the recording.[3] The album is the first studio release from Toots and the Maytals in more than a decade[4] and the first after an accident wherein bandleader Toots Hibbert was hit in the head with a glass bottle, leading to his hiatus from performing.[5] The lyrical content of the album is political, featuring pleas for unity among people.[6]
Got to Be Tough was the band's final studio release before Hibbert's death on 11 September 2020 due to complications from COVID-19.[7][8] After his death, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.[9]
