The Grind. Whether you go to school, work a 9-to-5, or hustle, grindin’ is a way of
life. Such is the case with GTC (Grind Time Central), a Dayton, Ohio-based duo
that have grindin’ in their blood. On their new single, ‘Grind Till I Get It’, set over
an orchestration of epic proportions - the audience can feel their hunger and
motivation, smoothly laid out over five minutes of funk.
Consisting of lifelong friends Slim & Polo, GTC represent the hustles and
struggles of millions of people all around the world - and they’re proud to do so.
“We make world music - Japan, Europe, England – we’re ready to go,” says Slim.
“We’re going back to everybody music - Rated ‘E”, Polo re-affirms. Slim, who
spent time in the choir as a youth, further explains the group’s motivation: “We’re
grindin’ to sell records, and take care of our families. My son is the most
important thing to me. GTC stands for survival and success, and only the strong
survive - we survive.”
It’s their roots in Dayton, though, that provide the backdrop for their
inspirational raps. “We from Dayton,” Polo continues. “You sell dope or you
don’t. We don’t - we keep it movin’.” After seeing countless peers & friends go to
jail for drug offenses, the group decided to stay away from the dope game. For
Polo, though, this avoidance came with a blast of irony “When I was 17, my
parents admitted that they’d had a drug problem - for years. They’d kept it
hidden.” This struck a deep chord with him - “We all have issues…”. Slim chimes
in, “All we have is music.”
