It goes without saying how legendary Bun B is. As one half of the legendary duo, UGK, Bun B helped set records for Southern hip hop.

Bun B has made several high-profile collaborations. As UGK, alongside Pimp C, he recorded on Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin.'" The song went on to be a massive hit.

For all he has done throughout his career, Bun B will now be honored with his own day. Houston, Texas mayor, Annise Parker will be declaring August 30, 2011 "Bun B Day."

The honor comes for both Bun B's legacy and his contributions to the local community.
