GRITS is a Christian hip hop group from Nashville, Tennessee. Their name is an acronym, which stands for "Grammatical Revolution In The Spirit", hence the name of the third album (Grammatical Revolution). GRITS is made up of Stacy "Coffee" Jones and Teron "Bonafide" Carter, both of whom were dc Talk dancers.
Mainly, their style is alternative and Southern, while several of their songs have pop influences, thus an occasional pop-rap sound, and their song "We don't play" has a Jamaican influence complete with steel drums. They were one of the first acts signed to Gotee Records, and have released seven albums with Gotee, with an eighth one released by Gotee and AudioGoat. They have appeared at Cornerstone Festival and Rock the Universe. In addition their song "Bobbin Bouncin'" was added to the track list in the video-game Project Gotham Racing 4.
They have received several Gospel Music Association Dove Awards throughout their career. Their first was "Rap/Hip Hop Song" for "Plagiarism", from Factors of the Seven. The next year they took the same award for "They All Fall Down", from Grammatical Revolution. In 2003 The Art Of Translation won the award for "Rap/Hip Hop Album", and the following year their song "Believe" from the same album took "Rap/Hip Hop Song". They also shared in the "Special Event Album" that year, for their contribution to !Hero The Rock Opera.
