Grits - Ooh Ahh feat Toby Mac Liquid remix - free and legal music downloads

Liquid put together this remix for one of the most popular Grits tracks of all time. The first time I heard studio roughs of the original version I knew this track would be huge. “Ooh Aah” is probably one of the better Christian hip-hop singles of all time. Toby Mac drops a quick verse towards the end of the track.
