Detroit, MI - “Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah to them. The crowds were all paying attention to what Philip said, as they listened and saw the signs he was performing. For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. So there was great joy in that city.” [Acts 8:5-8]

Grow where we are planted. It sounds simple, yet many look at their surroundings and see an impossible mission field to navigate. Despite the challenges, we have been called to go and bring the Gospel with us. The city may not be perfect, but the Gritty keep moving forward!

“We wanted this one to be a street-smart song with lots of energy, that nods to the Detroit style. We live, work, and do ministry in the city…it isn’t all sunny days and birds chirping. It gets real; it gets gritty.” - Rich Colón

Gritty, by Rich Colón and Marqus Anthony, is a fire starter!

Released on digital streaming platforms on October 8, 2024, Gritty is a flamboyant portrayal of the realities of life in “the D” and the hope that the gospel brings to its residents.

Rich Colón and Marqus Anthony are Detroit to the bone, but that pales to carrying out the charge of the Great Commission. “We see Jesus in the midst of it all,” explains Rich. “Because we know He is with us, we are motivated to keep at it, for His glory.”

Colón has generated plenty of buzz since linking up with indie imprint Polished Arrow Music.

With the release of a multitude of singles along with the EP ‘Hunting Szn,’ Colón has embraced his role in the boom-bap resurgence that has swept through the Christian hip-hop genre as of late. Gritty continues following the lane that Rich has been carving for himself since returning to creating music.

Add Gritty now to your playlist on your favorite music streaming outlets.

About Rich Colón

Rich Colón is an emcee who values the art of being an emcee. His formula is simple - dope beats and well-crafted lyrics that pull no punches. While Rich’s delivery is reminiscent of hip-hop’s sharpest, like Black Thought, Big Pun, Nas, or Vinnie Paz, his content is infused with a deeper spiritual dialogue that pulls influences from thinkers like C.S. Lewis and Justo Gonzalez.
