UGK

UGK (short for Underground Kingz) was an American hip-hop duo from Port Arthur, Texas, formed in 1987 by Mitchell "Big Mitch" Queen and Chad "Pimp C" Butler. Big Mitch later left the group to pursue a football career, and was replaced with Bernard "Bun B" Freeman, although Mitch remained a frequent collaborator of the duo. They released their first major-label album, Too Hard to Swallow, in 1992, followed by several other charting releases on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, including their fifth album, Underground Kingz (2007), which spawned the hit single "International Players Anthem (I Choose You)" (featuring Outkast) and debuted atop the Billboard 200, in August 2007. The duo also appeared on singles for other artists, such as "Big Pimpin'" by Jay-Z and "Sippin' on Some Syrup" by Three 6 Mafia. Pimp C founded UGK Records in late 2005. The duo ended following Pimp C's death on December 4, 2007.
