"Momentum" is the first album released by Toby McKeehan under the name tobyMac. Also McKeehan is one of the three members of Christian band dc Talk, and has expressed plans to continue recording with the other dcTalk members in the future.

The album was well-received in the world of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) and was nominated for a Grammy when it was released in 2001. It contains a message of tolerance, in line with tobyMac's personal push for diversity in society.

*The song "Yours" made it to the Top 5 on [http://www.christianrock.net/index.asp ChristianRock.net] .
* "Don't Bring Me Down" isn't a true interlude, as it is actually the second half of the song "Universal and Worldwide" by the Christian hip hop duo Grits. It first appeared on their 1995 release "Mental Releases" on Gotee Records. Both members of Grits were once backup dancers for dc talk, Toby Mac's original group.
*Samples of WWE's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin can be heard in the song "Extreme Days".
