GRITS 7  GRITS 7, the musical group GRITS's Seventh CD was released on Gotee Records in 2006. The majority of the songs come from previously released albums, heavily from the Dichotomy albums, but there are three new songs: "Changes", "I Try", and "Time to Pray". Giving the album a nine out of ten at Cross Rhythms, David Bains writes, "To those who don't own anything from those masters of dirty south stylings I would advise this as a starting point!" Sherwin Frias, awarding the album four stars from Jesus Freak Hideout, states, "7 is proof positive that while there is plenty to celebrate about". Rating the album five stars for "The Phantom Tollbooth", describes, "Prepare yourself to be rapped-up in one of Christian hip-hop’s greatest assets. With Grits’ new album, Seven, hip-hop lovers and even hip-hop toleraters will be more than pleased to hear the extraordinary sounds of the best of the best in Christian hip-hop." Timothy Gerst, indicating in a four star review by "The Phantom Tollbooth", replies, "it continues to keep the GRITS legacy alive and leaves the fans on the edge while waiting for the next GRITS release." Signaling in a two and a half star review at "Christianity Today", Andree Farias responds, "The new tracks ("Changes," "I Try," "Time to Pray") are all vintage GRITS, with a vibe that's soulful, old-school, and meditative, not unlike the duo's Dichotomy A and the Factors projects. They're really the main incentive to get 7, which seems well-intentioned if you're a latecomer to the GRITS party, but unnecessary if you're already a fan of the group."
