Bun B has organized a telethon for Houston that will take place in September

The first thought many hip hop fans probably had when they saw Port Arthur trending on Twitter was UGK. In 1999, the group achieved mainstream fame on Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin.'” The song was huge and both Bun B and Pimp C shouted the P.A.T. out.

Bun B has represented UGK, solo, since 2007, when Pimp C passed away. That span of time has seen him evolve from simply being an artist to being an ambassador. During the election, Bun B followed the campaign of Bernie Sanders and also is a hip hop professor.

In the wake of the Hurricane Harvey damage in both Houston and the neighboring Port Arthur, Bun B is stepping up. The veteran rapper has organized a telethon for his cities. This telethon will take place in September.
