  • Bun B & Cory Mo talk ‘Mo Trill’ album, Trill Burgers, Pimp C legacy, being one of the only artists to have music w/ Beyonce & Jay Z, grandparent

    Bun B & Cory Mo talk ‘Mo Trill’ album, Trill Burgers, Pimp C legacy, being one of the only artists to have music w/ Beyonce & Jay Z, grandparent
    2025/11/03
    “Even though we were signed to a major record label distributed all around the country and around the world, we still moved as independent artists” ~ Bun B In this powerful new episode of Skipping Class, Lalaa Shepard of The Progress Report Media Group sits down with Southern hip-hop icons Bun B and Cory Mo — two Texas legends who’ve built one of the most respected legacies in rap culture. Born and raised in Port Arthur, Texas, Bun B came up alongside the late, great Pimp C as one half of the legendary group UGK (Underground Kingz). Known for their authenticity, storytelling, and southern pride, UGK became a foundation for generations of artists. After Pimp C’s passing, Bun continued to honor that legacy through solo projects, teaching, activism, and entrepreneurship — most notably with his nationally celebrated Trill Burgers brand. Cory Mo, a Houston native and longtime UGK affiliate, came up producing for Pimp C and other Southern heavyweights before relocating to Atlanta to continue building his career. From behind the boards to the mic, Cory Mo has worked with some of the biggest names in hip-hop — from Big K.R.I.T. and Killer Mike to 8Ball & MJG — while keeping the Trill sound alive. Together, the two break down the process behind their 2025 joint album “Mo Trill” — a project that bridges eras with features from Scotty ATL, Akeem Ali, LaRussell, Monaleo, and more. They open up about staying independent, navigating the music business, and why Southern culture continues to define hip-hop. Bun B also shares exclusive stories about being one of the few artists to record with both Beyoncé and Jay-Z, creating “Give Me That” with Webbie, recording the same day in Atlanta with Jeezy and Gucci Mane, and how the success of Trill Burgers reflects decades of consistency, patience, and progress. Watch the full interview for rare stories, laughs, and wisdom from two OGs!
