The track first showed signs of life on the mixtape circuit, where DJ Enuff began repping it. However, it was their first track together, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop," that proved decisive to their success. The Philadelphia duo - Young Chris (born Chris Ries) and Neef (born Hanif Muhammad) - debuted with brief appearances on the first State Property album (2001) and, more importantly, got a high-profile shoutout in Jay-Z's "Takeover" earlier that year. Young Gunz began as just two of the numerous rappers in Roc-a-Fella's State Property collective, yet all it took was one runaway hit, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop," to distance them from the pack and elevate them into the spotlight.
