Both members grew up in Anderson, IN, and have been making music together since the late 90's. They formed hip hop group KWOLITE in 2005 with 3 other people, and in 2008 left the group to form Hinx Jones.
Moving to Indianapolis in late 2008, Hinx Jones started their move to a new city by releasing two individual mixtape-like projects by each Lonegevity ("Sessions" 2009) and Gritts ("Grittstape" 2009). They traveled to perform at the A3C festival (in Atlanta) in October of 2009 and 2010, and have performed at multiple events in Indianapolis and Chicago including the Broad Ripple Music Fest (2010) and Mojostock (2011).
The sound of Hinx Jones is unique, as although their primary focus is hip hop, they don't limit their sound to a hip hop audience. Gritts is the main vocalist and singer of the 2 man group, and also plays drums, bass, horns, and keys. He is a very well rounded musician, and is known for his uplifting message. He has a solo project planned to release in 2012. Lonegevity is more known for his production than anything else, and has a mixture of many styles thrown together. He has showcased production at multiple beat showcases/battles (iStandard, BRMF, etc), has remixed movie scores, has music in Independent films and comercials, and is currently working on his 5th instrumental album. Also an emcee and vocalist, he has 2 solo projects planned to release in 2012.
Hinx Jones has finished their sophomore project entitled Frozen Liquor, and will drop in October of 2011.
