YM’s Cory Gunz Announces MTV Docu-series, “Son Of A Gunâ€

Back in 2009, Gunz partnered with Cannon and told Mixtape Daily that he and the Nickelodeon exec had plans aligned to showcase a close look at the persistence of then-mixtape star, now-Young Money’s newest signed act.
“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.”
Fast forward to January 30, 2011, Nick Cannon and Cory Gunz announce the April debut of their new MTV docu-serious, “Son of a Gun.”
The prime music network that has previously aired “day-in-the-life” material on fellow Young Money artists, Drake and Nicki Minaj, will now have cameras tracking the prominent Bronx rapper’s rising career.
Nick Cannon released a statement saying:
“Cory’s story is inspiring, one that boldly paints the many trials and tribulations he’s had to endure in pursuit of his dreams.” “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.”
The six-part series, airing at 11pm EST, will show Gunz hunger and rise.
Son of a Gun on MTV is one of my favorite shows. I love to watch Cory and all the drama. Good thing I have DISH Network as my TV provider. I get TV everywhere using the Sling box. As a DISH employee I can tell you that DISH is the only TV provider that offers all the channels I get at home, on-the-go. You should check out http://www.dishnetwork.com for more info.
