DC Talk alum TobyMac's WELCOME TO DIVERSE CITY release gets the requisite remix album treatment with RENOVATING DIVERSE CITY. TM's clever pastiche of hip-hop, rock, old-school funk and dance is even more infectious with some jacked-up tempos, additional instrumentation, and the ever-present vibe of soulful positivity that is TobyMac's trademark. minimize
