Young Gunz

The Young Gunz are a Grammy-nominated rap duo from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are composed of Young Chris (born Chris Ries in 1984) and Neef Buck (born Hanif Muhammad in 1984). They are members of Beanie Sigel's State Property collective and are formerly signed to Roc-A-Fella Records. Young Gunz' debut single, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop", was one of the top 20 on the Billboard charts of 2003.

After the success of their single, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop", the label jumped and was ready to release their debut album, Tough Luv. It included the remix to "Can't Stop, Won't Stop", which featured St. Louis rapper Chingy. Singles included "No Better Love" featuring former Roc-A-Fella Records crooner Rell and the Just Blaze-produced "Friday Night". Tough Luv debuted on the Billboard 200 at #3 after selling 128,000 copies in its first week. That week, the album at #2 was labelmate Kanye West's debut album The College Dropout, which was released just two weeks earlier.

After a brief hiatus, the duo returned with Swizz Beatz produced "Set It Off" from their second album, Brothers from Another. This albums, which was released May, 24th 2005, sales were somewhat of a disappointment compared to the first, despite the decent exposure of the lead single, promotion from Jay-Z himself, TV, radio & magazine appearances. It was the second release from the "new" Roc-A-Fella Records.

Recently Young Chris has signed a major record deal with Universal Motown,as has as a group have released their latest mixtape Back To Business. Young Chris has said he will always be Roc-A-Fella,as he still wears a Roc-A-Fella chain today.
