Houston rapper Bun B (born Bernard Freeman) had a rather tumultuous 2007. He saw the latest album by his group UGK debut at the top of the Billboard albums chart only to have his longtime partner Pimp C pass away a few months later. But Bun continues undeterred, as this week saw the release of his second solo album, the excellent II Trill, and he is currently enjoying the spoils of a hit single, “That’s Gangsta.” Bun called in from the road on his way back to Houston to host a listening party at the Louis Vitton boutique. “They just overhauled the men’s department, so I’m excited to help them kick things off,” he says.
