2 Pistols

Jeremy Lemont Saunders (born June 11, 1983), better known by his stage name 2 Pistols (censored as 2P), is an American rapper from Tarpon Springs, Florida. After the local success of his independent single "Dirty Foot", he signed a record deal with Universal Republic Records in 2007. In January 2008, he released his debut single, "She Got It" (featuring T-Pain and Tay Dizm), which 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.

Biography
Saunders grew up in a broken home, with his extended family looking after him. In his teens, Saunders became involved in local crime. In 2005, they incarcerated him for eight months. After this, he became involved in music promotion and formed a group called Blood Money Union, which consisted of other DJs, producers, and rappers.

Saunders' first success in rapping came with a self-released record called "Dirty Foot", which he wrote while still in high school 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 the point that he began to take his chances at making a career of music seriously.

On June 17, 2008, he released his debut album, Death Before Dishonor, which 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 and "Thats My Word" featuring Trey Songz, in addition to "She Got It". The album reached number 32 on the Billboard 200 chart and climbed to number 10 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. 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.
