Joshua Gunn holds the honor of being North Carolina’s very first BET Music Matters artist. This past Friday in his hometown of Durham, NC J. Gunn held an album release party and performance at Casbah in the heart of downtown to celebrate the release of his new album, Faithful Struggle.

Remember I told y’all back in December that Joshua Gunn was one of the top five Carolina hip hop artists to watch in 2012? Pay attention! Check out J. Gunn’s performance and the sold out crowd after the jump!
