Crusade Musicians
GRITS
 Now
four albums strong, GRITS - made up of Coffee and Bonafide (their birth
certificates read Stacy Jones and Teron Carter, respectively) - lit up
the national rap radar with their 1999 breakthrough, GRAMMATICAL
REVOLUTION. Recently, GRITS’ songs were featured on MTV’s The Real
World, Resurrection Boulevard (Showtime), Pop Stars (WB), two episodes
of Boston Public (FOX) and several independent films. Their small
screen charisma put their videos in heavy rotation on all the major
outlets (Yo! MTV Raps, MTV2, BET, The Box) with such highlights as
hitting Top 10 on BET's Rap City and nailing both Top 10 Most Requested
and Top 5 Handpicked on MTV2. With so much video exposure, GRITS easily
scored a 1999 Billboard Video Award trophy for the album's "They All
Fall Down." Putting actions behind their words, GRITS is actively
involved in many community-building causes. Last year, the group joined
Erykah Badu, Kevin Powell, MC Lyte, and Goodie Mob on a "Rap &
Race: Educating Black Minds" panel at Nashville's Fisk University. They
were also a featured artist at the National Black Expo, Rock the Vote
with Montel Jordan, and in the 14-city festival tour ERACE, which
helped raise awareness about racism.
