RC and The Gritz release highly anticipated album!!

“Pay Your Tab” is the debut album by Dallas’ own RC Williams and The Gritz Band. This album proves once again that live musicians simply sound better. The band members include RC Williams on keys, Jah Born production and MPC, Claudia Melton vocals, Braylon Lacy on bass,  Cleon Edwards and TaRon Locket on percussion. Each of the members have all toured and worked with musicians of every imaginable genera, there is a Grammy or two between members as well. They are able to successfully blend all of their skill into this playful and creative expression of what music should be. The album features Erykah Badu, Raheem Devaughn, Snoop Lion and very impressive new comers A.Dd+. Point Blank/ True School DJ Jay-Clipp also lends his talents to the project. Stand out songs are well honestly …………..the too many to name. There isn’t one song on that isn’t enjoyable. You will easily lose yourself in the swing of “First Take” or the memory of love’s past listening to “We Can’t Be Friends.”

RC Williams and The GRITZ Band are well on their way to crafting the sound of Dallas music. They have successfully created a new classic that encompasses a combination of the Jazz’s cool, Hip Hop’s honesty, the soul of the Gospel, and the smoky love ballets of R&B.  A novice will be able to hear the intricate progression and skilled layering of each note. “Pay Your Tab” is a must buy the album can be purchased on iTunes.
