[Webster]

DC Talk was one of the most successful Christian bands of the 1990's… But this wasn't your grandma's Christian music. Kevin Max, TobyMac, and Michael Tait combined rap, rock, and hiphop. They sold-out concerts around the world, and decades later, people still looked back on DC Talk with nostalgia. That is, until 2025, when Michael Tait would have one of the biggest scandals in Christian music of all time. This is a story of scandal, betrayal, intense music industry rivalry, and a fallen idol. This is the story of Christian superstar, Michael Tait.
