Bun B’s first concert memories are of RodeoHouston. That young boy, whose full name is Bernard Freeman, never imagined that he’d be headlining the same event 50 years later.
“I’m the headliner. It’s Bun B at the rodeo.”
If anyone deserves this shot, it’s Bun B. Through the years, he has been a tireless cheerleader for Houston. An event celebrating the city? He’s there. A verse for an up-and-coming rapper? He’s on it. A fundraiser for locals in need? Watch him pull up. It’s why he’s known to many as the unofficial mayor of Houston. In fact, a legitimate political run doesn’t seem far-fetched.
That rich sense of history and culture is what he’ll bring to the RodeoHouston stage. He also hopes to give people, after two years of hardships, a moment to breathe, a reason to dance and an opportunity to find some common ground. Trill Burgers is a collaboration with Andy Nguyen, a California-based culinary entrepreneur; and siblings Patsy and Benson Vivares of Sticky’s Chicken. Musically speaking, however, Bun could have easily taken on the task solo or invited just a couple of friends to join him. Instead, he’s assembled a diverse crew that includes rappers Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Lil Flip, Lil Keke and Z-Ro.
