We reminisced about old times while getting his fans ready for what’s to come. After the meet-and-greet, Neef will head to Euphoria Taproom in Bear for a concert and release party. Today, Neef will make his way down to the Christiana Mall to meet with his Delaware fans at the R U Villa store, where he will also debut his Forever Do Me clothing line. Some of the original State Property crew even came together on a reunion track titled “Game of Thrones.” Today, Neef's streetwise lyrical genius can be heard from his own record label, GIFI Records, where he's preparing to release the eighth chapter of his street-legendary mixtape series, “Forever Do Me.” The project features his longtime partner Young Chris, as well as appearances by Jadakiss, Trae Tha Truth, Raheem Devaughn and Jahlil Beats. The Young Gunz garnered respect from the streets as well as the music industry. From there they became part of Philadelphia’s greatest crew, State Property.Īfter officially signing to Roc-A-Fella, the Young Gunz would go on to release their debut album, “Tough Luv” in 2004, which propelled Chris and Neef to superstar status led by the single “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop.” In 2005, the duo released their second (and final) project under Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam, “Brothers from Another,” which took the No. Neef Buck and Young Chris, who have been friends since the age of 12, eventually became the Grammy Award-nominated rap duo Young Gunz.
Hailing from the mean streets of Philly, his lyrical ability would help him become a critical part of Jay-Z and Roca-A-Fella Records’ domination at the start new millennium. Neef Buck, aka Young Neef (born Hanif Muhammad), has been a force in the hip-hop industry for nearly 20 years.
