Tom MacDonald returns with Proud to be a Problem, his first solo album in nearly three years—and it might be his most raw and revealing project yet.
Known for shaking up the music industry with fearless political takes and viral anthems, Tom flips the script this time. Instead of targeting the system, he's turning inward. The album dives into deeply personal territory—addiction, heartbreak, and depression—laying bare the battles that have shaped him not just as an artist, but as a man.
On social media, Tom told fans this album would show them a side of him they’ve never seen before. And he wasn’t lying. Tracks throughout Proud to be a Problem sound like journal entries from someone who's lived through hell and made it back with the scars to prove it.
But make no mistake—this isn’t a sob story. It’s a story of survival, strength, and self-awareness, wrapped in Tom’s signature sound: gritty beats, heavy lyrics, and a voice that commands attention. Even when he’s hurting, Tom MacDonald sounds like a man in control.
In a music industry full of fakery and fluff, Proud to be a Problem is a bold, brutally honest breath of fresh air. Whether you're a day-one Hog Fam member or a first-time listener, this is the album that reminds you why Tom MacDonald became a voice for the unheard.
No features. No filters. Just truth.
