|||
==Early Life== |
|||
The Air Transport Association released the newest version of ATA Spec 100 in 1999. According to the ATA website, this information will not be revised, and has been combined with [[ATA Spec 2100]] to produce the [[ATA iSpec 2200: Information Standards for Aviation Maintenance]] manual. |
|||
This specification defines a widely-used numbering scheme for aircraft parts and the appearance of printed aircraft maintenance information. |

Jeremy Lemont Saunders grew up in the [[Tarpon Springs, Florida|Tarpon Springs]] area. His parents spent much of his early life in jail, and he was raised by a succession of other relatives, such as aunts and older brothers.

==Musical Career== |
|||
2 Pistols' first success in rapping had come with an independent record called "Dirty Foot," which he wrote while still in high school<ref name="Bio"/> and distributed in the [[Tarpon Springs, Florida|Tarpon Springs]] area, at the urging of his cousin. After hearing it played in a local dance club and then witnessing another rapper's performance, 2 Pistols had his first chance to perform on-stage. He later had a very brief stint with [[Juvenile]]'s [[UTP Records]]. (Check the UTP link for more info) |
|||
<blockquote>"The guy was just not that good," he explains. "And he could tell by my face that I thought he was whack. So he looks down at me in the crowd and asks me if I think I could do better. I said 'hell yeah, I could!'"<ref name="Bio"/></blockquote> |
|||
After taking the stage and performing his own single ("Dirty Foot"), 2 Pistols' confidence in his abilities grew to a point that he began to take his chances at making a career of music seriously.<ref name="Bio"/> |
|||

After he was released from jail, he re-started his music career as a local promoter, bringing acts such as [[Plies (rapper)|Plies]], [[Da Shop Boyz]], [[T-Pain]], and [[Lil Boosie]] to the Tampa area.<ref name="Bio"/> Through these shows, he began making connections to powerful individuals in the music industry. He formed a group called Blood Money Union, which consisted of other DJs, Producers and Rappers in the Tarpon Springs and surrounding areas. All of this led to his signing with [[Universal Records|Universal]] in 2007<ref name=allmusicbio /> and his collaboration with [[T-Pain]] on the song "[[She Got It]]," which peaked at #7 on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart in 2008, and hit #2 on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart.<ref name=amcharts>{{cite web | title = Billboard Chart information at AllMusic.com | url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=2|PISTOLS&sql=11:gzfpxze5ldke~T5}}</ref> |
