What Does UGK Mean?

UGK means "Underground Kingz."

UGK, short for Underground Kingz, was a hip-hop duo from Port Arthur, Texas, consisting of the late rapper and producer Chad "Pimp C" Butler and the rapper Bernard "Bun B" Freeman. They were active in the music industry from the late 1980s until Pimp C's untimely death in 2007.

UGK was known for their distinctive southern rap style, which blended elements of blues, soul, and funk music with hard-hitting lyrics about street life, drugs, and the struggles of the African American community. They gained national attention with their 1996 album "Ridin' Dirty," which is now considered a classic of southern rap.

Following Pimp C's death in 2007, Bun B continued to release music as a solo artist and collaborate with other musicians. He also became an advocate for hip-hop education, teaching a course on the history of hip-hop at Rice University in Houston, Texas. In 2013, he released an album titled "Trill OG: The Epilogue," which features collaborations with several prominent hip-hop artists.

While UGK is no longer active as a duo, their music continues to be influential in the hip-hop community, particularly in the southern United States. They are widely regarded as pioneers of southern rap and are credited with helping to popularize the genre in the mainstream.
