Grits

Grits started as a trio from Atlanta in the late 1990s, with Teron "T-Bone" Carter, Kevin "K-Bone" Henderson, and Joshua "J-Bone" Scruggs. Their debut album '7even' came out in 2001. They were known for mixing hip-hop with their Christian background, which gave their music a particular angle in a crowded scene.

Their biggest moment came with the single 'Ooh Ahh (My Life Be Like)' featuring tobyMac, which reached the Billboard Hot 100. After J-Bone left in 2003, T-Bone and K-Bone kept going as a duo. They put out albums like 'The Art of Translation' and 'The Great Commission', working with artists like Lecrae along the way.

Some in Christian music circles thought their sound drifted toward the secular later on, but they kept making records that touched on faith and everyday life. Songs like 'Runnin'' and 'Here We Go' showed their knack for catchy, thoughtful hip-hop without grand statements.
