The Houston legend today (Aug. 31) dropped Return of the Trill, his first new album in half a decade. Don’t assume that Bun can’t have big fun though; after all this is the same rapper who along with partner Pimp C taught Jay-Z what “Big Pimpin'” was all about. Bun B’s “Trill” is the culmination of years of experience and paying dues, and the only shame of it is that Pimp C is locked down and can’t be there to celebrate it with him.
