dc Talk was a Christian rap and rock trio. The group was formed at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1987 by Toby McKeehan, Michael Tait, and Kevin Max Smith. They released five major studio albums together: dc Talk (1989), Nu Thang (1990), Free at Last (1992), Jesus Freak (1995),

and Supernatural (1998). In 2002, the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music called dc Talk “the most popular overtly Christian act of all time.” dc Talk went on hiatus in 2000, though it never formally disbanded.
The group’s musical style evolved significantly throughout its career. Its first two releases, DC Talk and Nu Thang, were predominantly hip-hop. Their third album, Free at Last, also mainly took influence from hip-hop while the group’s music began to incorporate rock and other influences. The trio’s last two albums, Jesus Freak and Supernatural, were predominantly pop rock.
