The hip hop duo Chad “Pimp C” Butler and Bernard “Bun B” Freeman are getting ready to release their highly anticipated seventh album coming this July 17, which is self-titled “UGK, Underground Kingz”.

The video included a number of cameo’s including those from Three 6 Mafia, David Banner, Bishop Don Magic Juan, Farnsworth Bentley and others. Another song that’s making its way around is “Quit Hatin the South” which features Charlie Wilson and Willie D. “Now it’s our time to shine and the tables is turned and motherf^ck*rs are aggravated cause we getting som burn…”
