He’s been the young king of the streets of Houston for a few years now. He just dropped a new single, “These Days,” that’s really blowing up. I think it’s the best record that he’s made, and let's people know exactly the kind of person he is and what he really represents. And I think now he has a better chance than ever to really make his connection with a nationwide audience.

Them signed to Pimp C out of Port Authur, Texas. They’re a young duo, they both rap, and they’re down with each other real tough. They’re real friends outside of the booth. They remind me a lot of how [Pimp C and I] used to be when we were younger. They’re jammin’, too.

Bun B's Fresh 11 For 2011: Youngest N Charge (YNC)

That’s a group that my son is in. He’s 25. They make more of, like, the club records. They’re young dudes, so it’s a little bit different. He’s not a lyricist like me. It’s more laid back. I told him not to try to go into being a lyricist because he’d always be compared to me. So he makes more laid-back music.
