UGK 4 Life Coming In March

Posted on Jan 17 in Headlineby adminPrint

Bun B recently spoke with MTV news about the upcoming release of UGK’s final studio album. The album entitled UGK 4 Life is slated for a March 31 release on Jive records. In the interview Bun stated that he’d like the final UGK to cement Pimp C’s legacy sort of the same way that Legend did for Bob Marley.

“

This will be a good bookend to the legacy of myself and Pimp,” Bun said. “And definitely take not just the group, but Pimp C, to true legend and iconic status.”The album’s first single “Da Game’s Been Good To Me” has already been featured on the internet and only features the two kings. In the interview Bun spoke very candidly about his desire to feature no one else on the album.

“This album is not about who I wanna work with and what kind of beats I wanna do,” he explained. “This album is about what the people wanna hear, and that’s Bun and Pimp. And I wanna try to give that to them in the most purest sense.”

Bun went on to elaborate on the struggles that he’s encountered since the passing of his partner-in-rhyme.

“I know people will support it, and I know that I’m strong enough to do it,” Bun told Mixtape Monday last January. “Just the point of understanding from here on out, it’s just [me] — I’m probably never gonna be comfortable with it in that sense. It’s just a matter of coming to terms with the reality of it and the finality of the two-man situation in a physical sense.”

When asked about he things that he misses most about working with Pimp, Bun had this to say…

“That comes and goes. You don’t need an album, video or songs for that to come out,” he said of his friend’s memory. “I try to tell people all the time: ‘It’s never the big things that you think, it’s the little things.’ Interviews and videos, that don’t do it. But when you see something that you know they would have loved to do or see or buy or drive somewhere they would have loved to go … just [being reminded of] their nature and personality makes you realize they’re not around anymore.”
