Biography
Both Freeman and Butler are from the west side of Port Arthur, Texas. They released their first album in 1988. In a article from The Source Magazine "July 2007", Bun B is quoted as saying "I quess Wikipedia is telling people we put our first album out in '89, but we didn't put it out until '92". Titled The Southern Way, it was distributed by local record label Bigtyme Recordz and only available as an audio cassette. In 1992, they had caught the attention of Jive Records, and were signed to a five album record contract. Their major label debut album Too Hard to Swallow was released later that same year, on November 10. While it featured several new recordings, it also featured several songs that had been culled from The Southern Way. However, several songs that had been intended to be included on the album were excised at the last minute, apparently due to their overly explicit content. Five of these songs would surface two months before Too Hard to Swallow's release, on an EP distributed by Bigtyme Recordz; appropriately enough, the EP was titled Banned.
Their second album Super Tight... was released two years later, on August 30. Unlike their previous effort, it managed to break into the Billboard Hot 200, but ultimately peaked at #95. Two more years passed before the release of their third album, Ridin' Dirty. It performed better than either of its predecessors, and almost broke into the Billboard Hot 200's top-ten, before stopping short at #15. Ridin' Dirty would also be UGK's last album for the time being, as they went on a five year hiatus not long afterward. In the interim, UGK made a high-profile guest appearance on Jay-Z's 2000 smash hit "Big Pimpin'" and also appeared on Three 6 Mafia's hit "Sippin' on Some Sizzurp" later the very same year. Both of these collaborations greatly increased their reputation, and helped fuel anticipation for their next project. Unfortunately, Jive Records failed to capitalize on this new-found interest in the duo, as their sixth album, 2001's Dirty Money, came and went with little fanfare.
Further problems arose when Pimp C was incarcerated for an aggravated gun assault charge on January 28, 2002. Throughout the time of his incarceration, Bun B carried on the UGK name by making numerous guest appearances on songs by other artists, with every appearance either mentioning Pimp C or featuring a "Free Pimp C!" or "Free the Pimp" chant. Many of UGK's peers did the same, and mentioned Pimp C in their own songs with or without Bun B. During this period, Jive Records released a Best of UGK album, as well as a Chopped & Screwed remix album.
As a result of Pimp C's incarceration, both members of UGK began solo careers out of necessity. Rap-A-Lot Records released Pimp C's solo debut, Sweet James Jones Stories, on March 1, 2005. Bun B later released his own solo foray, Trill, on October 18, 2005. It opened at #6 on the Billboard Hot 200, and also peaked at #1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-hop Album chart. It was quickly certified gold by the RIAA.
On December 30, 2005, Pimp C was released from prison and is on parole until December 2009. He released his first post-incarceration album, titled Pimpalation, on July 25, 2006. He and Bun B are working on UGK's seventh album, tentatively titled U.G.K. Underground Kingz. The album was originally due out in December but has been pushed back to August 7th.
The album is reported to have 32 tracks spanning two discs. Among the 32 tracks is "Quit Hatin the South", which is anticipated to cause more friction between Dirty South rappers and East Coast rappers. Featured guests include Rick Ross, Three 6 Mafia, Slim Thug, Sleepy Brown, as well as hiphop legends Kool G Rap, Mike Dressel, Craig Weaver, and Big Daddy Kane on a Marley Marl produced track titled "H-Town". The album will also feature production by Jazze Pha who produced the first single, "Stop & Go", Swizz Beats, Outkast, Lil Jon, fellow Texas legend Scarface, and Pimp C. The album is due to be released August 7th, 2007. [1]
In a rare collaboration between the Dirty South and the UK grime scene, UGK appear with Dizzee Rascal on the song "Where's da G's" from Dizzee's third LP, "Maths and English", released in June 2007.
