Jeremy Lemont Saunders (born June 11, 1983),[1] better known by his stage name 2 Pistols (censored as 2P), is an American rapper from Tarpon Springs, Florida.[2] After the local success of his independent single "Dirty Foot", he signed a record deal with Universal Republic Records in 2007.[3] His debut single, "She Got It" (featuring T-Pain and Tay Dizm), was released in January 2008 and peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song preceded his debut studio album, Death Before Dishonor (2008), which saw moderate critical and commercial reception and no further mainstream recognition with its follow ups.[4][5]
Biography
From a broken home, Saunders grew up being looked after by his extended family. By his teens, he became involved in local crime and in 2005 was incarcerated for eight months.[1]Шаблон:Dead link After this, he became involved in music promotion and formed a group called Blood Money Union, which consisted of other DJs, producers and rappers.[2]
Saunders' first success in rapping came with a self-released record called "Dirty Foot", which he wrote while still in high school[2] and distributed in the Tarpon Springs area at the urging of his cousin. After hearing it played in a local dance club and then witnessing another rapper's performance, 2 Pistols had his first chance to perform on-stage. After taking the stage and performing his own single ("Dirty Foot"), 2 Pistols' confidence in his abilities grew to a point that he began to take his chances at making a career of music seriously.[2]
His debut album, Death Before Dishonor, was released on June 17, 2008[5] and featured production from the Grammy-winning J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Da Honorable C.N.O.T.E, Bolo Da Producer, and others. Tracks from the album included "You Know Me" featuring Ray J & "Thats My Word" featuring Trey Songz, in addition to "She Got It". The album peaked at number 32 on the Billboard 200 chart, and rose to number 10 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop album chart.[6] 2 Pistols resides in Tampa, Florida and currently releases his music under his own label, Blood Money Union. In February 2014, the album Comin Back Hard appeared through Stage One Music.[7]
