Bun B

An imposing if beloved presence in hip-hop since the early '90s, Bun B is a Southern rap icon known for no-nonsense rhymes delivered with steely precision. Beside fellow Port Arthur, Texas native Pimp C, he rose to fame with UGK, who issued a string of Top 20 albums including the gold-certified Ridin' Dirty (1996) and the chart-topping Underground Kingz (2007), home to the duo's Grammy-nominated collaboration with OutKast, "International Players Anthem (I Choose You)." In the midst of UGK's hot streak, Bun B made his solo debut with Trill (2005), a Top Ten hit he followed with the equally successful II Trill (2008) and Trill O.G. (2010). Trill O.G.: The Epilogue (2013), and Return of the Trill (2018) maintained the MC's commercial visibility during the rise of a younger generation raised on his earlier recordings. Subsequent projects Mo Trill, TrillStatik, and TrillStatik 2 (2019-2022) have seen him work in tandem with producers Cory Mo and Statik Selektah.
