God Songs: TobyMac Songs Can’t Forget Them

admin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 05:14:15 +0000

If I’m going to talk about God songs I better not fail to mention Toby Mac. Toby Mac is an innovator in the Christian music scene. The God songs he performs have an energy that very few can match up to. From the days of DC Talk which started with a hip hop sound that later evolved into a rockin guitar driven Christian rock sound to today’s sound. Toby Mac sound has continued to change and evolve into something that has a great sound.

Toby Mac was born Kevin Michael McKeehan in 1964 in Virginia. Toby Mac is an award winning singer producer and song writer. Many know TobyMac from DC Talk originally. He has also lead an impressive solo career that produced some excellent God songs. TMac also has been married since 1994 and is the proud father of five children.

Toby Mac is an award winning performer that has enjoyed much success both with DC Talk and in his solo career. He is also the president of a record label Gotee Records. Toby Mac has even authored a couple of books as well as various popular God songs.

You know when I write these posts I feel the need to put some background information (not sure if it is necessary) then I ramble and this and that. The truth is I talk about Christian music artists and the God songs they perform because I like the way they sound. TobyMac is an excellent performer. The God songs he releases whether solo or the stuff he did with DC Talk for a decade have all been great. If you don’t have TobyMac discs in your collection of God songs you probably should. If you don’t have them all you should think about getting them.

A couple of the Toby Mac songs that I really like are “Lose My Soul” with Kirk Franklin from the album “Portable Sounds” I know it’s one his slower ones, but it really is pretty touching and kind of makes me think. Another one of the God songs I like is the Kirk Franklin song that features TobyMac “I Am God” that is a jam I really dig. “Phenomenon” is a pretty good tune.” I’m not even sure what all TobyMac God songs I like. I definitely think there is more good than anything.

The album “Tonight” is scheduled for release in February. The first time I heard “City On Our Knees” (the first single from “Tonight”) I wasn’t sure about it I mean the lyrics are great I just wasn’t completely sure about the music. So I listened to it a couple more times, and I really like it. It wasn’t what I expected at first but it really grows on you. I heard “Showstopper” and “Funky Jesus Music” on YouTube and these are some good God songs. I look forward to TobyMac’s new album “Tonight” he’s even doing a tour with Skillet to promote that I hope to make it to.

TobyMac does great God songs and has for years getting the message out through his Christian songs. I’m not sure if you would call him Christian rock, Christian Rap, Christian hip hop or something else. I call him an entertaining and talented musician that does Christian music that you should check out if you haven’t.

God Songs- T-Bone Christian Rap at it’s Best

admin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:25:37 +0000

The Christian artist I’d like to talk about today is T-bone. I first heard his versions of God songs on “The Fighting Temptations” a great movie that featured a variety of God songs by Mary Mary the Blind Boys of Alabama and more. I know I’ve mentioned this movie more than once, but I really liked it.
Tbone is said to have started rapping at the age of 7. His life was touched by Christ and he has been delivering his message for many years without losing sight of his mission. T-bone has been able to deliver the message to many that would not have heard it otherwise, by delivering God songs to the youth in a way that is not very often heard. T-bone is not the only, or the first, Christian rapper by any means he is however in mine and many others opinion the best.
Tbone was nominated for Grammies 3 times, winner of several Dove awards starred in several feature movies. This kind of fame has spoiled many a great man. T-bone continues to deliver his message. He has never sold out for the fortune he could have made by making gangster songs instead of God songs.
From the God song “Demon Killa” By T-bone “Boney-bone Corleone back up in your face Man Ephesians 4:29 says ‘Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good for the use of edifying that it may minister grace unto the hearers’” This quote from the scriptures seems to some up what guides T-bone in his songwriting. Only God knows how many souls his God songs have touched.
T-bone is a Christian rapper who could easily make it big in the mainstream. He is a true talent. This was proven even more so when legend KRS-One appeared on the album and song Gospelalphamegafunkyboogiediscomusic after T-bone guested on his album Spiritual Minded. From Krs-One to Kirk Franklin from Mack10 to Montell Jordan Tbone has collaborated with some genuine legends on some great God songs. If you are not a fan of rap don’t let that keep you away my mom is even a fan of Tbone.

On an ending note Go Steelers it’s been a bit scary so far this season. Thank God Troy is back another God fearing man who has a positive effect on this world. Troy and Tbone are actually two of the people I would like to meet in person, Jesus of course being number one. So as I throw a Tbone disc on the changer and celebrate another Steeler close call victory listening to some good God songs I’ll stop rambling and say God Bless.
