[edit] About
Hip hop duo Young Gunz came in the music scene in 1999 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The rappers are Chris Ries (Young Chris) and Hanif Muhammad (Neef). They signed in with Rock-A-Fella and worked on their album, State Property, but it was not a success. The two was first heard in Jay-Z’s single “1-900-Hustler”. Due to the album’s failure the duo continued to sell drugs.
It was in 2003, Young Gunz’s “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” single was a huge success. The follow-up album, The Chain Gang, was issued in 2003. It went to the top of the charts quickly. They worked on a remix with co-rapper Chingy. In 2004, Young Gunz Tough Luv was released followed by Brother from Another the next year.

[edit] Reviews
Young Gunz has nothing special to offer. Their album has a hint of weakness to them. Although they give out a lot of energy into their music, it is not good enough. -Mimi 08:35, 30 March 2008 (PST)
