Bun B Previews 'Trill O.G.' At NYC Listening Session

via Vibe

Making his way to the Big Apple by way of Port Arthur, Texas, Bun B held a private listening session for his forthcoming album, Trill OG, last night (Tuesday, June 1) at Dame Dash’s DD172 gallery. Nestled on the outskirts of New York’s artsy Tribeca district, media, friends and special invited including guests Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, Asher Roth, Cool Kids and others gathered in the former (and new!) Roc-A-Fella CEO’s creative playhouse to get the first listen to Bun’s latest chapter in the Trill saga.

While the mix of bloggers, hipsters, artists, and media types rubbed elbows, Bun B grabbed the mic to say a few words before introducing the album. “I am very proud of this album, Trill OG—I put a lot of hard work, pain and sweat into this record. But with that being said it’s not preachy or sad. It’s very entertaining and just an incredible record.”

Sticking to his guns, the living legend rhymes familiar themes on his forthcoming third solo LP but comes up with anything but stale material. He enlisted beatsmiths such as DJ Khalil to bring some new flavor to his candy-coated bars and veteran DJ Premier to lace a neck-breaking track sure to get play way on both sides of the Mason-Dixon. Bun B shows he can still be the star of the show when riding with some today's biggest names. On “Just Like That,” Bun gets an assist from Young Jeezy as the two lyrically abuse the record’s relentless snares and snyths. Bun also gracefully dissects syllables and crushes any doubts that he's fallen from his Underground King throne on the Preemo-produced “Let Em Know.”

But the record that commanded an immediate silence from the chatter was “Right Now,” which features posthumous verses from the late Pimp C and Tupac and Trey Songz on the hook, all weaved together so nicely that the record sounds as if it were recorded yesterday.

The company will mark the anniversary with releases from Z-Ro, Bun B, Pimp C and several themed compilations using select songs from Rap-A-Lot's extensive catalog.

"I have been doing business with James Prince and Rap-A-Lot for a long time and it is an honor to welcome his entire team to Fontana. James is a true music visionary and has established Rap-A-Lot as one of the great pioneers of southern hip-hop, a true original," stated Mr. Spaulding. "And as they approach their well-earned milestone of 25 years in the industry, Fontana is thrilled to embrace their innovation, rich catalog and talented artists as we play a role in the next exciting chapter of their history."

"I am excited about Rap-A-Lot Records' new journey and the opportunity to work with Jim Urie (President & CEO, Universal Music Group Distribution) and Ron, two music executives that I have the utmost respect for," added J Prince.

Bun B Profiled For SXSW 2010 News Story

 

via KIAH-TV Houston 39 News

For music fans, South by Southwest is the chance to catch future stars of the music scene. But for bands, it's the chance of a lifetime that could turn them from amateurs to worldwide sensations almost overnight.

The South by Southwest Music Festival kicks off in Austin this week.

Seven of the bands officially playing are from Houston, and countless other acts will make the trip and play unofficial gigs. Musicians say just being in Austin for this is the biggest opportunity of the year.

Houston rapper Bun B has a song called "It Was All a Dream." It's about his early dream to one day be a successful rapper. After 18 years of cutting albums he's reached those successes, many of which started just down the road in Austin.

"I've gotten untold concerts around the country, my first national tour with a corporate sponsor I was able to book from South by Southwest. My first overseas tour was because promoters came to South by Southwest," said Bun B, whose real name is Bernard Freeman.

Bun B said even after all these years, getting invited to South by Southwest is still a huge honor and opportunity.

"There are opportunities out the wazzoo at this place man," said Bun B. "South by Southwest is the biggest music festival on the planet. It gives you an opportunity to perform in front of different people, people you may not have been able to perform for, so it helps you expand your sound."

Bun B takes the mic. Wednesday.
