Review

With his partner Pimp C struggling with legal problems and eventually incarceration, fellow UGK member Bun B was forced to go it alone. His Mddl Fngz project was satisfying and his guest appearances are always welcome, but with Trill he establishes himself as an exciting solo artist benefiting from both experience and the hunger of someone just joining the game. There's a ridiculously star-studded guest list to come, but before thrilling the listener with Jay-Z, Ludacris, Ying Yang Twins, Mannie Fresh, and even Too Short, Bun B takes the first highlight for his own, delivering "Bun" like an up-and-comer on his first big mixtape. Beating Mike Jones and Paul Wall at their own game, B follows up his new anthem with two hooky hanging-out tracks, the celebrity-packed "Get Throwed" with Z-Ro and Jay-Z and the magnificent "Draped Up" featuring Lil' Keke and referencing DJ Screw for Southern hood authenticity. As the album progresses with one inspired guest appearance after another and 31 flavors of hip-hop for the tasting, Trill becomes the more street-level alternative to its guest star Lil Jon's grand Crunk Juice. The big difference is Trill is born out of necessity, a need to keep the UGK spirit alive and Bun B in the spotlight by proving he still has it. On all counts, it succeeds. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

Trill is the debut album by Bun B. It is said that Bun released the album to keep the UGK name alive while Pimp C was in jail. It debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200. As of late the album has had four singles: "Draped Up" featuring Lil' Keke, the "Draped Up" (Remix) featuring Slim Thug, Lil' Keke, Chamillionaire, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Aztek, Z-Ro & Lil' Flip. The most recent singles are "Git It" featuring Ying Yang Twins and a remix of "Get Throwed" which featured, Pimp C, Young Jeezy and Z-Ro, the original version had Jay-Z doing verse 4, but in the video Bun B and Pimp C split the last verse. People speculate that either the budget wasn't big enough to get Jay-Z for the video, or Jay was not featured to show the reemergence of UGK. There is a Chopped & Screwed album version done by Michael 5000 Watts.
