Synopsis
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.
