8 Ball & MJG and Bun B in Birmingham

This Birmingham concert brings together two pillars of Southern hip-hop: 8Ball & MJG and Bun B, with full orchestral backing from The Renaissance Orchestra. Bun B, born Bernard Freeman, is best known as one half of the iconic duo UGK, which he formed with Pimp C in 1987. His solo work, particularly the album 'Trill OG,' earned rare critical acclaim, including a 5-mic rating from The Source.

Attendees can expect a high-energy performance blending classic rap anthems with live orchestration, a setting that elevates the raw sound of the South. The event pays tribute to the legacy of UGK and celebrates the enduring influence of Bun B, who has also taught at Rice University. It's a rare opportunity to see these veteran artists in an intimate venue, backed by a full orchestra.
