Kuniva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kuniva (born Von Carlisle, December 10th, 1976), also known as Hanz G and Rondell Beene, is one of the members of the Detroit hip hop group D12. He has appeared on both Devil's Night and D12 World. He also appeared on Eminem's original underground EP Infinite, but didn't rap on it. Along with fellow D12 member and friend Kon Artis, he is a member of Da Brigade as well as co-founder of rap label Runyon Ave. Records, named after their home street in Detroit.
Kuniva also had a cameo along side the rest of D12 (sans Eminem) in the 2005 movie The Longest Yard, appearing as one of the "Basketball Convicts" in the credits.
In the works of D12 Kuniva occasionally assumes his alter-ego, Rondell Beene (achieved by wearing false teeth and effecting a gravelly voice), a loud-mouthed pimp from Chicago. Kuniva is also seen as the more aggressive member of D12 with lyrics such as:
We as deep as a motherfucker, we bout to get it crunk
You just another punk in the club about to get jumped
I settle my vendettas wit AKs, barettas
We ain't 'posed to be in here wit' our weapons but still they let us
Switch blade, brass knuckles, nickel plated belt buckles
Broken beer bottles, when we walk in you can smell trouble
Elbows flyin', bitches cryin', niggaz bleedin'
You retreatin, running to your car and skatin off, we G'ing
We make examples outta you haters running yo' mouth,
We the reason why your peoples are pourin they forties out. - Cut from D12's 40oz
