Young Chris
Christopher Francis Ries (born March 9, 1983), known professionally as Young Chris, is an American rapper. He was one-half of the Philadelphia-based hip hop duo Young Gunz, which he formed with fellow rapper Neef Buck in 2001. That same year, the duo joined the larger Philadelphia-based hip hop group State Property; both acts were signed to Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records by the same time.
With Young Gunz, the duo saw their furthest success with their 2003 debut single "Can't Stop, Won't Stop", which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 2004 Grammy Awards. The duo subsequently released two albums: Tough Luv (2004) and Brothers from Another (2005). After long-term delay for his debut solo record, Ries signed with Rico Love's record label Division1, an imprint of Universal Motown Records in December 2010. He has since released two studio albums through the label: LIFE: Ladies In For Free and The Revival, both in 2011.
Ries is often disambiguated with the rapper YC, who used to perform as "Yung Chris", and is thus sometimes incorrectly credited as the performer of the YC song "Racks."
