Does the name Bun B sound familiar? Probably not (or at least for some of you...), Bun B is best known as part of the two man Hip-Hop/Rap band named UGK. Bun B and his partner Pimp C broke out on the scene in 92' putting out their first album on a audio cassette tape. Jive Records was interested in their works, and ended up signing them for a five album production contract. The two recording artists stayed together from 92' until 01', and sadly were forced to part ways in January of 02'. The reason being you might ask? Well, Pimp C had been incarcerated for gun assault and was in jail for a certain period of time. Both Bun B and Pimp C agreed they would each need to go off on their own ways and try to do what they do best as solo artists. Bun B went off on his solo career, and really is the only reason why UGK is here today. Bun B kept the UGK spirit alive while Pimp C was in jail, and three years later, Pimp C is out of jail, and the two have began to record together again. UGK's most recent album is entitled: "UGK (Underground Kingz)", and Bun B had released his debut album entitled "Trilla" on 2005. He is now set on creating "2 Trilla," which will be released in 2008.
