Young Gunz Feel The Usual Roc Tough Luv


*taken from Rocafella.com
The ROC's 'youngest in charge,' the Young Gunz, recently shot a star-studded video with Chingy for the remix of their smash "Can't Stop, Wont Stop." Almost the entire Roc-A-Fella family showed up to support the young bucks, with the likes of Memphis Bleek, Dirt McGirt, Freeway, Lil Fame of M.O.P., Juelz Santana and Freeky Zeeky of the Diplomats, and of course Damon Dash making cameos. The video has just debuted on BET, and the remix continues to bubble at urban radio. As the ROC prepares the push for "No Better Love feat. Rell," the first single from their debut Tough Luv, The Gunners have jetted out to LA to shoot yet another video. Tough Luv has been slated for a January 27, 2004 release.

After years of mentoring under the wing of big brother and Roc-A-Fella general Jay-Z, 2003 found the Young Gunz taking charge. This summer, while rocking stages from coast to coast with Jay, Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek and the rest of the Roc Army on the "Rock The Mic" tour, the Gunners breakout hit "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" exploded at radio, soaring to nearly 6,000 spins nationwide and climbing to #10 on the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B charts and #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Propelled on the strength of Can't Stop, Won't Stop, State Property Presents The Chain Gang Vol. II, the critically acclaimed album from the Young Gunz' Philly-based crew State Property sold close to 70,000 copies in its first week, debuting at #6 on the national album charts. Now, the Young Gunz are ready to take center stage.

Tough Luv gives them the opportunity to do just that. Top-notch production from beatsmiths like Just Blaze on the single "Friday Night," Bink, Digga, Chad West and EZ L-Pee on the banger "Problems," lays a scathing soundscape for the Gunners to work their magic. All star guests are on board as well; Jay-Z takes a turn on "Never Take Me Alive." Roc-A-Fella brothers-in-arms The Diplomats represent with Cam'ron dropping in on "The Look In Your Eyes" and Juelz Santana spitting on "Rich Girl," which takes its hook from the Hall & Oates classic. Elsewhere, the Dirty South's latest phenom Chingy comes along for the ride on the hot remix to "Can't Stop, Won't Stop."

With years of experience in the rap game and now a breakout smash hit under their belts, The Young Gunz have arrived to take the Roc into the future. A remarkably strong debut, Tough Luv proves that, indeed, The Young Gunz and their Roc-A-Fella family canĀ¹t stop, and won't stop.
