Bun B
II Trill
[Rap-A-Lot/Asylum]
Reviewed by: Low

Since the tragic death of his rhyme partner Pimp C less than six months ago, Bun B, the other half of the legendary UGK crew hasn't showed any signs of slowing down. With all of his high-profile guest appearances, remixes and now the release of his second solo album, the Houston rap veteran continues to propel forward.

Bun's character speaks for itself. So just as he represented for his imprisoned homie a few years back with the Free Pimp C campaign, he's now keeping the memory of Chad Butler alive with the stripper anthem "Pop It 4 Pimp" featuring Juvenile and Webbie. He also express his deep grief for his departed comrade on "Angel In The Sky" and has included the hot UGK track "Underground Thang."

II Trill trumps the first Trill and it's full of features, actually so many that I rather not list them all. But I'd have to say "Damn I'm Cold" featuring Lil Wayne, "Swang On Em" featuring Lupe Fiasco and "If I Die II Night" featuring Young Buck and Lyfe Jennings are the strongest. Bun also goes hard and get at corrupt police, preachers and politicians on "Get Cha Issue." "Good II Me," featuring Mya comes off somewhat week mainly because Mya struggles with the hook.

In all, Bun keeps it 100 with II Trill and I'm sure his fans won't disagree.
