Son Of A Gun is a reality series about the tough decisions and hard work it takes to make it in the unique world of music; a raw and untamed look behind the scenes of an industry so many know, but few understand.
Cory Gunz, a rapper who previously had two major record deals with Casablanca and Def Jam, is getting his last big shot in the hard-knock world of hip-hop. The son of previously famed Peter Gunz is primed to take his career to places his father was never able to go. Before his journey can begin, Cory must overcome some major problems with family and business that seem to be bubbling at the surface. First up is choosing which record label to go with and then how to assemble the team around him.
However, in this industry, the lines between family, friends and business can easily be blurred. This is his last chance to show and prove that he has what it takes. In the end, this journey will be one he has to complete on his own.
Meet the Cast
Cory is the son of Peter Gunz, who had a hit record in the 90s. Cory has been trying to get his rap career off the ground
since he was 16 years old. With two failed record deals under his belt, this third go-round is Cory's last opportunity to
finally make it as a rapper. Cory deals with family and management issues as we watch his journey to the top.
Peter is Cory's father and voice of reason. Through Peter's influence, Cory fell in love with hip-hop and aspired to become
an artist himself. Peter's hit "Uptown Baby" put the Gunz family on the map in the rap game, but it wasn't enough to propel
them into a better life. Through his ups and downs in the business, Peter knows the path Cory is on and works to guide him
so that he won't make the same mistakes he did.
Nick Cannon is known as Mr. Nickelodeon but wears many other hats, including CEO of NCredible Entertainment. When Nick discovered
Cory's talent, he knew with his help he could take his career to the next level. Nick is now like family to Cory and is providing
him with all the resources it takes to make him a superstar. All Nick wants is to see Cory win and, with the help of the NCredible
team, break out all the stops to turn him into a star.
Ed Woods is Cory's lawyer and friend of the family. Ed always turns things up when he's in the picture. He's been in Cory's
life since he was 16 years old and is going to see to it that he receives the benefits of Cory's new deal.
Jimmy, Cory's cousin, is like a big brother to Cory and one of his closest confidantes. Because Jimmy is the gregarious one
in the group, he's often referred to as 'the mayor'.
Hash, aka 'The Bronx Beast' is Cory's childhood friend and close confidante who also raps. He is always on hand to give advice
and provide comic relief.
Dorian is Nick's right-hand man and always ready to work. He and Nick travel everywhere together. When it's time to deliver
bad news or give a good tongue lashing, Dorian is the man for the job.
Jamal is Nick's general manager with a big sense of humor. He may be funny, but when it comes to business he's no joke. Nick
trusts and values Jamal's opinion and loves that Jamal always tells it like it is.
Dollie is Nick's executive assistant wtih a no-nonsense attitude and incredible work ethic. She keeps all the boys on time
and on task.
