TobyMac Bridges Generations with Epic Collabs – Revives ‘Jesus Freak’ with TikTok Sensation Josiah Queen
TobyMac is proving once again why he’s a legend in Christian music, this time by teaming up with viral stars Forrest Frank and Josiah Queen for two electrifying collaborations. The standout? A stripped-down, country-tinged reimagining of the DC Talk classic Jesus Freak, featuring Josiah Queen’s soulful vocals and TobyMac’s iconic rap verses. This fresh take keeps the song’s rebellious spirit intact while giving it an acoustic warmth, making it feel both nostalgic and brand-new. For fans who grew up with the original, it’s a heartfelt tribute—and for Gen Z listeners discovering it for the first time, it’s a gateway into Christian music’s rich history.
Josiah Queen, whose raw songwriting and massive TikTok following have made him a rising force in worship music, called Jesus Freak his “favorite childhood song” and gushed about the collaboration on social media: “Dropping this was a dream come true 😭 Special thank you to THE @tobymac for hopping on this one!!” Much like For King & Country’s recent reboot of Michael W. Smith’s Place in This World, this track has the power to reintroduce a timeless anthem to a new generation. By joining forces with today’s breakout artists, TobyMac isn’t just celebrating his roots—he’s ensuring Christian music’s future burns just as bright.
