LISTEN: Tobymac featured on new version of Newsboys 'Stand'

Former band members of DC Talk, TobyMac and Michael Tait are teaming up once again.

Newsboys released their latest album STAND on October 21, 2021. Their title track also called 'Stand,' is the feature song for the CCM film released last year, The Jesus Music.

Now TobyMac is joining up with old DC Talk bandmate Michael Tait in Newsboys for the release of a new version of 'Stand.'

"We tried to write a song that speaks to the very purpose and mission of every human, we finished the song and were like ‘this feels like an album theme,'" says Michael Tait to The Christian Beat. "Let’s face it, I am a man of color, and people are trying to tell us black and white can’t get along."

DC Talk was a Christian hip-hop band from 1987 until 2000. Past members included TobyMac, Michael Tait, and Kevin Max. The former members have been topping the charts separately since 2001.

"To also have our longtime friend and brother Toby join us on the single is such a blessing," says Tait. "It feels like such an anthem for today and we hope it affects the listener as we intended."
