[21 year old] E-Gunna 1/3 of Tha Tak-Ova...born in San Francisco, CA, raised in Northern California, bread in Fillmoe (800 block). He has been rapping since 1996 and credits 2 Pac for motivating/inspiring him. Growing up in the streets of San Francisco being tough wasn’t an option. At a young age he chose the streets but refused to be ignorant. While hanging with the thugs he always managed to get above average grades and excel in his education. In 1996 he moved to North Oakland and befriended people in the neighborhood. While living in Oakland he learned many different lesson about the game of life. Being from Frisco and living in Oakland wasn’t easy but as the saying goes "real recognize real" From 1997 to 2001 he moved back and forth from Oakland, CA to San Francisco, CA going to half a dozen schools. At a young age he also chose to put money over everything. Never settling for less and being a trendsetter he began living an adult life at 13. Clubbing, driving, grinding and everything else. By 15, he was hanging with 20-28 year olds and taking care of his younger siblings. Due to the harsh environment of the Bay Area. Mama Gunna decided to move to Sacramento, CA only to encounter a similar situation for E-Gunna. 2002-2004 E-Gunna made his mark in Sacramento by staying true to his upbringing and only associating with the real. After graduating High School in 2004 he moved back to San Francisco, CA to pick up where he left off in his street endeavors. While thuggin he managed to go to CCSF and maintain a 3.0 grade point average. In 2005 he had a brief but serious brush with the law facing 25 years to life, still Gunna continued to Rap. After being snitched on by the victim Gunna was forced to plead guilty to probation and a strike. Shortly after,Gunna and his co-defendant were released. After getting out of jail Gunna continued to Rap. Six months later he was shot in the head by a stray bullet from some scary unknown person. After recovering from that he rushed back into the studio to make songs with his friends and released many mixtapes with all original beats. After seeing that he couldn’t wait any longer E-Gunna came out with his first official mixtape in 2007 “Money, Murda, Music” “I live how I rap and I doubt if 1% of people in the industry can say the same. I’m the best breathing and that’s that. Since 2 Pac’s death in 1996 we ain’t been getting the respect we deserve. The hyphy movement is coo but realistically speaking Northern-Cal’s murda rate is ridiculous right now. Yea we go dumb but its realer than that. This is the state that Gansta Rap was founded in so I feel its my duty to let the world know whats going on. I speak for the Thugs, Killas, Hustlas, Pimps, Playas, and every other real Individual in the hood from a Fillmoe point of view.”
