Career edit

Initially performing as The Gunrunners, the duo made their debut on Whodini's 1996 album Six, on which they featured on the track "Can't Get Enough" and assisted in the writing of two other tracks. Peter Gunz collaborated with Shaquille O'Neal on the latter's albums You Can't Stop the Reign (1996) and Respect (1998), in addition to the single "Men of Steel" from O'Neal's film Steel (1997). Lord Tariq worked with Jay-Z and Nas on the 1998 single "Analyze This".

Their debut single, "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)", was released in December 1997 and sampled the 1977 Steely Dan song "Black Cow". It peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart, and reached #21 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1998.[1] The single was certified platinum by the RIAA for sales of over one million.

Following the track's success, Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz released their only album in 1998, Make It Reign, which peaked at #38 on the Billboard 200 and #8 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Despite containing guest appearances by Big Pun, Fat Joe, Sticky Fingaz, Kurupt and Cam'ron, the album failed to produce further hits.

The pair broke up in 1999 without releasing any other material.

Later career edit

From 2013 to 2020, Peter Gunz has appeared on the VH1 reality series Love & Hip Hop: New York and is currently (as of late 2020) the new host of the long running reality series Cheaters. He was married to singer Amina Schmahl. His son, Peter Cory Pankey, Jr. (born 1987), is a rapper who goes by the stage name of Cory Gunz and was signed to Young Money Entertainment, the Cash Money Records imprint founded by rapper Lil Wayne.

In June 2005, Lord Tariq released a non-charting solo album, The Barcode, that featured both Peter and Cory Gunz.[2]
