Review

Tobymac commands the stage in this whirlwind of grooves, beats, and hooks, all given with the music master's funkified delivery. No one can touch the former dc Talk member's spitfire presence or the top-notch rhythm section backing him up. The project was recorded live in Houston on the Portable Sounds tour. At 20 tracks, it's a generous helping of some of the most contemporary hip-hop/pop available to Christian teens. The man says it best himself -- they "rock the show in stereo!" ~ Jared Johnson, Rovi
