Bun B Leaves Asylum For Universal Music Group

Bun B of the legendary rap duo UGK has decided to part ways from Asylum Records/Warner Brothers. Now he plans to release new and future projects with Universal Music Group imprint Fontana.

“[This new situation] works better for me,” Bun continued. “I work better in the small system. When you’re in the big system it’s really about breaking you and exposing you and I think I’ve been able to build a career as far as just associating myself. We’re pretty good with that in-house with Rap-A-Lot. But with Universal we are gonna use their distribution legs and promotional chain, because they do have access that we haven’t been able to have before.”

Bun B does not express negative feelings with Asylum Records and most importantly gives credit to the organization for the success of his career in this past five years.

So with this move brings a delay in Bun B’s upcoming project, Trill O.G. to be released. He does prove optimistic about the final product (album) and will capitalize on the delay to fine tune the album.

“It gives me time to work with people that I thought I was gonna miss, like Pharrell,” he shared. “Pharrell and I have been trying to get together for this album but we’ve been having scheduling conflicts, which actually just opened up a nice window for us to record. And it also gives me a chance to finish up recording with Premier. We was supposed to do two, but I only got one done. We were worried we weren’t gonna get the second one done but we got time to get that done. It’s also given me another chance to do another one with Drake and fine tune that whole situation.

You know what they say “everything happens for a reason” maybe this move and delay was the perfect timing.
