Just the mere mention of Gospel Rap will cause some folks to cringe and/or "run for the hills". With very good reason though. This genre for the most part has been stuff with many, many lukewarm releases. This is where GRITS enter the scene. This duo from Nashville TN, brings across a non-preachy, down-to-earth, catchy and very entertaining releases, which music just happens to have a non-secular overtone. Often refered to as the Outkast of Gosepl Rap, GRITS have had many of their songs featured in various media outlets such as; MTV Cribs, Somethings Gotta' Give, Pimp My Ride, My Super Sweet 16, etc......
I find their videos to be bland & weired; however, I am a big fan of their ingenious rhyme scheme, subject & flow. They are truly ahead of their time. Straight feel good music.
