Ty Dolla $ign Releases "Free TC" Album & Documentary

Ty Dolla $ign released the Free TC documentary today (April 20) to coincide with his album of the same name.

The 13-minute film tells the story of his brother, Gabriel “TC” Griffin, who is serving a prison sentence. His family claims he was wrongly convicted for murder. Approximately 10,000 people per year are reportedly wrongly convicted of a crime each year.

The Los Angeles singer-producer premiered the film at a March screening in Hollywood, California that was followed by a panel of speakers who are fighting injustice in the prison system.

Every dollar made from the proceeds of the Free TC album is being promised to fight for TC’s freedom. He is awaiting his second appeal.

“You only have two,” Ty Dolla $ign says. “This next one’s very important. Shoutout to everybody that’s been supportive. Like I’ve said from the beginning, every dollar that I’m making from this is going to his case to get the best lawyers to provide the best situation for him to get a second chance at life like he deserves just like everybody else.”

The album is named for Ty Dolla $ign‘s younger brother, TC, who is incarcerated. The Los Angeles singer explained the album title to Home Grown Radio.

“He’s locked up for something that he didn’t do,” Ty Dolla $ign said, “and what I’m trying to do is just raise awareness for the whole mass incarceration thing going on in our country, especially with our people; the whole social-racial-injustice thing that’s also going on.”
