With buzz at an all-time high via the mixtape circuit and guest appearances galore, rapper Young Chris [click to read] is looking to release his solo debut album next year, and long-time partner Neef Buck will be there by his side.

While from the outside looking in it seemed as though he and Neef had lost musical touch, Chris explained that notion is far from the truth. “A lot of people come in this game and they get put together. We came up from nothing to something. That’s really my brother from another. Right after Chris, we are going to get to Tough Luv 2 and give the fans that Young Gunz. We are just giving the people what they want,” he told Vibe.com.

Chris also stated the Young Gunz are currently being catered to by two of Hip Hop’s most popular labels. “Right now we have a deal on the table and it’s a toss-up between Roc Nation and Interscope,” he said. “Wherever I go Jay-Z and Mark Ronson are executive producing it together. So that’s a great balance.”
