Career

Peter Gunz started his career in the early 1990s when he formed the hip-hop rapping duo with Sean "Lord Tariq" Hamilton. Having grown up in the Bronx, his environment hugely shaped his approach to music, like many other African-American artists. They made their debut on Whodini's album ‘Six’ in 1996 and were featured on the single ‘Can’t Get Enough’. In 1998, the duo released their maiden and only album ‘Make it Reign’, which featured the Platinum hit ‘Deja Vu’. The, the duo disbanded in the next year and Peter Gunz went on to have a not so successful solo career which ended in 1999. He did, however, make successful collaborations with artists like Big Pun, Mariah Carey, and KRS-One.

After ending his rap career, Peter Gunz made several cameo appearances on TV shows as himself. He was seen in ‘Sons of a Gun’ (2008), ‘Funk Flex Full Throttle’ (2011), and ‘Afraid of the Dark’ (2014). Although not a very common name in the modern hip-hop industry, Peter Gunz came into the limelight again when he started making appearances as himself on the reality TV series ‘Love & Hip Hop’ (2013–present). He was also a part of the ‘Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars’ in 2017, in which he tried to salvage his marriage with Amina Buddafly after cheating on her with ex-girlfriend Tara Wallace. Lately, he has been trying to expand his base to producing music and helping his son Cory’s budding rap career.
