Biography

Saunders grew up in a broken home, with his extended family looking after him. In his teens, Saunders became involved in local crime, and in 2005, he was incarcerated 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.
