Tommy Gunz at The Network Show: 'I'm top three underground for sure'

In a 73-second clip, Juice Unlocked host Matt Allenn, wearing a blue Catalyst jersey and holding a Catalyst TV microphone, interviews Tommy Gunz in front of a booth backdrop printed with Southern California city names like Santa Ana, Stanton and Moreno Valley. Gunz, in a black graphic tee and gold chains, says the event feels like Comic-Con for weed, claims a top-three spot in the underground and says fans already know his face. He closes by pointing viewers to his YouTube and Instagram.

Rapper Tommy Gunz stopped by the Catalyst booth at The Network Show and talked with Juice Unlocked's Matt Allenn. When Allenn asked whether he's one of the top three rappers in the game right now, Gunz narrowed the claim, then stood by it.

"Nah, not top three," he said. "I'm top three underground for sure, though."

Comic-Con, but for weed

Gunz said a friend brought him out and that it was his first time at a cannabis event. His first take: "This feels like Comic-Con, but for weed." He compared people linking up in warehouses to collectors trading Pokémon cards.

Asked whether people had been hooking him up, he said he got hooked up and gave Catalyst a shoutout on camera.

“Nah, not top three, I'm top three underground for sure, though.”

No introduction needed

Gunz argued that his face does the talking. "I could've did this whole video just by standing here like this," he said, adding that people would see him and say they know him.

Where to find his music? "On YouTube and on Instagram, I don't got no other social media," he said. His Instagram handle is @tommygunz_93256.
