MTV has announced it will air a six-part documentary produced by Nick Cannon titled "Son of A Gun," which chronicles the journey of Bronx, New York rapper Cory Gunz.
"Son of A Gun" will follow Cory Gunz as he navigates through the music industry, with the help of his managers Nick Cannon and Cory's father/co-manager/Peter Gunz.
His father, Peter Gunz, is already famous in Hip-Hop for his hit 1998 million-selling-single "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)," with Lord Tariq.
“Cory’s story is inspiring, one that boldly paints the many trials and tribulations he’s had to endure in pursuit of his dreams.” Nick Cannon told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “I’m grateful for the access that Cory and Peter allowed us to have in order to create a series that we feel will really resonate with MTV viewers.”
Although Cory Gunz is only 23-years-old, the budding rapper has already had four record deals (Casablanca, Def Jam, After Platinum), including his latest, with Lil Wayne's Young Money imprint.
Cory Gunz landed on "6'7," the first single Lil Wayne dropped when he finished his prison sentence in November of 2010.
“Were bringing our viewers the raw and unfiltered story of a young man learning to cope with the industry’s ups and downs, while on the cusp of becoming a breakout success” added Chris Linn, Executive Vice President, Programming & Head of Production, MTV. “We're excited to work with such a gifted artist and share his incredible journey with the MTV audience.”
"Son of A Gun" will debut on MTV on Thursday, April 28th at 11:00 PM.
