This marks Bun’s first collaborative project outside of UGK. Previously, Statik made 2009’s All In A Day’s Work with Saigon, on the spot. However, technology has advanced over the last decade allowing this to be a one of a kind experience for artists of this stature. Apart from his 1982 group with Termanology, Statik has released collaborative projects with KXNG Crooked (fka Crooked I), Action Bronson, Freddie Gibbs, Bumpy Knuckles, and others.
Previously, Bun B has appeared a handful of Statik, 1982, and ShowOff Records releases, including 2015’s Lucky 7.
