MOMEMTUM was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Gospel Album.
After over a decade as one-third of Christian rock/rappers DC Talk, tobyMac accomplishes the difficult leap to solo artist status with MOMENTUM. It's a mix of, obviously, Christian rapping and contemporary R&B stylings with more creative approaches, such as the computerized voice rapping on "Toby's Mac." Mac is from the Washington suburbs in Viginia, immortalized in Funkadelic's "Chocolate City" as DC's "vanilla suburbs," so it's to his credit that he's adapted the rap format, not only to Christianity, but to white-boy Christianity.
TobyMac never lets up on his proselytizing, even during the funky, acoustic "Do You Know," in which he frets about how to put his message over. He needn't--with cuts such as "What's Goin' Down" and "Love Is in the House" MOMENTUM is a testament to his ability to seamlessly intertwine his religion with his music in uniquely creative and subtly nuanced ways.

Toby Mac on DC Talk form If you listen to Christian Rock/Rap music then you will know that Toby Mac has come from the most successful band in the genre. This album is his first in his solo career, and contrary to my fears it reflects the heart of what we all knew and loved about DC Talk. There is hard core rock, gospel and rap. I can honestly say that I love every track. If you liked DC Talk's "Jesus Freak", and "Welcome to the Freak Show" then buy this album.
