MTV is giving second generation lyricist Cory Gunz his own reality show. Check out this snippet of Son of a Gun, set to premiere on MTV finally in April.
Nick Cannon and Cory Gunz announced on Monday (January 31) that they'll premiere their new docu-series, "Son of a Gun," on April 28th, 2011 on MTV.
The long-in-the-works production (which was in works since 2009, and kept getting pushed back just like all his unfortunate agreements with different record labels have, through the years) will follow the latest Lil Wayne protégé's rise to fame with cameras tracking the young Bronx rapper's career; Gunz is managed by his father, veteran Bronx MC Peter Gunz. "Son of a Gun," a six-part series, debuts on Thursday, April 28, at 11 p.m. ET/PT.
"Cory's story is inspiring, one that boldly paints the many trials and tribulations he's had to endure in pursuit of his dreams," executive producer Nick Cannon said 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."
Before the younger Gunz inked a deal with Weezy's Young Money, the upstart rapper was signed to iconic music industry veteran Tommy Mottola's Casablanca Records. When that union proved to be fruitless, Gunz joined Def Jam Records at Jay-Z's urging.
Back in 2009, Gunz partnered with Cannon and told Mixtape Daily that he and the Nickelodeon exec had plans in place to showcase the young mixtape circuit star's skills.
"Me and Nick got a couple things under wraps," Gunz explained. "We're trying to make a couple big things happen. We're trying to do things real elegant for '09, '10 and beyond. We [got] a couple projects in the works. Nick has been real instrumental behind the scenes on the project. And he's opened a couple of doors for me. Nick is my big brother now, for real. He's opening doors for me, giving me opportunities in and out of the studio. It's about to be ugly."
Rap wunderkid Cory Gunz is about to star in an MTV reality show. The Bronx-born rapper, who has gone through several record deals, but has yet to release an album or even a noteworthy single, is set to star in ' Son of a Gun,' a show focusing on the young Gunz and his father, Peter Gunz, who scored a big hit in 1998 with 'Deja Vu."It's on me and my pops," Cory explained, "It's about basically everything ... life, where we from ... my album, the struggle I've been going though ... my pops, all of the stuff, just us period in general and more importantly the Bronx. Me and my father's relationship, that's what's going to be interesting on the show too because it's not father and son, it's more like brothers."The show is being produced by Nick Cannon, who is also taking on a supervising production role on Cory's forthcoming debut.
