Born and raised on the Southside of Chicago in the Legendary 35th Street State Way Garden Projects (now an abandoned lot), once stood a young boy, now a fully grown man who would become a great inspiration to many. Ghunz, formerly known as Ill-lytarit, got his start as one of the founding members of MADDCORR, a Chicago based Southside rap group known for their charisma through song and their energy on stage. But it was when Ill was in the fourth grade that the rap bug would hit him hard. While listening to Too Short and NWA, one of his friends UWOP, suggested he write a rap, which for some strange reason he did. And while it just kinda okay, it planted the seed for him to want to do more making UWOP one of his most significant influences to date. As an emcee, Ill-Lytarit has had the chance to work with and/or associate with the likes of Method Man, B-Real of Cypress Hill, RedMan, Rhymefest and Kevin Lyles. They along with Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd and Masta Ace influenced Ills personal style as well as his production. But it would be a relocation to the Chatham/Grand Crossing neighborhood where Il-Lytarit would meet JB (Joe Blacula) and totally transform himself. Ill-Lytarits mother would tell Ill that Joe Blacula was a producer and into rap, which was strange since JB had never disclosed this information to her personally nor mentioned it through casual conversations. As soon as Ill moved to his new location, he knew something higher was being put into place. Under JBs tutelage, Ill-Lytarit would learn how to produce music THE RIGHT WAY, find his ear, develop his skills behind the board and change his rap moniker to Ill-Litonly to be reborn, GHUNZ. To the few who know him, they understand why there are close eyes on him. Ghunz is the Black Daley, who much like the Chicago Mayor stands up for his people and his city and doesnt back down under pressure. Ghunzs style and personality are so vibrant and energy fueled that his music seems as if he is taking his listeners into his mind on a personal rollercoaster of provocative and perverted thought. With his God blessed talent and devilish skills behind the mic, he will prove to be CHICAGOS GREAT HOPE! He is more human than other emcees would like to show and will put you in the mindset of the likes of Pac, Biggie, Ludacris, and Common all rolled into one. Chicago Get Your Mathafuckin Ass up!! GHUNZ IS A BLAZING!!!
