Starting
a career and running a business is never easy, but with a background of struggle and success anything can be done. But with
the added support of family and friends, the impossible can be accomplished.
This is the scenario of the Gunsmoke Gangstaz. The Gunsmoke Gangstaz are
a group of brothers from the uptown New Orleans, Louisiana area. They strived
to success and provide for themselves and family but money was not a plentiful substance. Therefore the three brothers formed
a rap group to earn quick money. With this came the infamous and strenuous process of creating rap names.
The oldest brother, Devin (the big dog with da gangsta
flow), decided to be called 17th Snoop combining both his nickname
and his neighborhood ward (17th w/d Hollygrove). The middle brother, Jeffrey (the more lyrical and metaphysical of the three),
when through varies alias' and nicknames before landing with Straight Jigg
stemming from his neighborhood nickname of Jigga. Straight Jigg
has been quoted as saying "Jigg is all I can be, straight up and down, Straight Jigg!!"
The youngest of the trinity is Trevis the ticking time bomb of wicked and twisted thoughts. He decided to rock
with the name Young Gutta becuz of him being the youngest and most
gutta of the clique.
Once they had their own personal names chosen it was time
for a group name. Gunsmoke Gangstaz was the perfect match. Three gangsta niggas straight out da gunsmoke town aka uptown New Orleans. With a name under their belt it was time to search for
a label; with little success they started their own label. Choke On' Smoke Recordz, the rest is history!!!!!!!!
