Momentum is the debut studio album from American recording artist TobyMac. It was released on November 6, 2001, through ForeFront Records.[5]

The album was well received and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Gospel Album in 2003. It contains a message of tolerance and diversity in society.

Musically it has an urban pop sound which HM Magazine described as containing shadows of early DC Talk material.[3] In 2003, Re:Mix Momentum was released.

Background

In the later months of 2000, DC Talk, announced plans to take a hiatus. In November an album, Intermission: The Greatest Hits, was released to commemorate the break. Following this, an extended play titled Solo was released on April 24, 2001, implying that solo careers were impending. The first two solo releases were Empty, released July 3 by Tait and Stereotype Be released August 28 by Kevin Max. Momentum's release was pushed back due to the September 11 attacks, and was released on November 6, 2001.

Critical reception

Jesus Freak Hideout's John DiBiase wrote, "Momentum does in fact live up to its title. It has [momentum], slamming the listener with truthful lyrics, an honest message, and infectious rhythms and rhymes."[6] Ashleigh Kittle of AllMusic stated "Momentum, an album reminiscent of DC Talk's early work, sets itself apart as a project highly deserving of the title 'much anticipated'. It is intricately detailed with layers of musical depth, combined with strong social messages such as racial reconciliation. And so it is with this release that tobyMac continues to reveal that he is indeed a modern day Renaissance man."[1] Cross Rhythms' David Bain said "This eclectic album takes you on a breathtaking tour of diverse styles from gospel, on 'J Train' which features Kirk Franklin, to hard music, 'Yours' and 'Extreme Days' (featured on the film soundtrack), to the more subtle shades of hip hop, 'Irene' and 'In The Air' (a take of a classic Motown hit), all with Toby's infectious touch of rap throughout. The mixture of so many styles on this project made it tricky to place it under a category — perhaps rock would have been just as apt! But don't let that put you off, as the production and lyrical quality is suburb, with talented contributions coming from the likes of DJ Form, DJ Maj, Pete Stewart, Mooki and Otto Price. A great album for group playing and personal listening as there is something for everyone (well, almost!)."[7]
