Bun B’s fifth solo album has a new release date.

After teasing a March 16 release that came and went earlier this year, the UGK MC has announced his Return Of The Trill LP will drop on August 31. The legendary MC shared the date, along with his album’s cover art, in a recent Instagram post.

“One more time for PAT!” he wrote. “August 31. Full album. Let’s do this! #ReturnOfTheTrill #August31 #UGK4LIFE #RIPPIMPC.”

Return Of The Trill will be Bun’s first album since 2013’s Trill OG: The Epilogue.

Last year, Bun told HipHopDX that Big K.R.I.T. was serving as the “musical coordinator” of his next solo LP. In April, he released a new track titled “Slow It Down” featuring K.R.I.T.

Bun B unveiled the title of his next album in a unique way. The UGK legend slipped in the announcement on a piece of paper during an episode of his cooking series, Trill Mealz.

“New album alert,” Bun says around the 50-second mark of the video. The clip shows the LP’s title, Return Of The Trill, along with a March 16 release date.

Last year, HipHopDX spoke to the Southern Hip Hop pioneer about the upcoming project. Bun revealed Big K.R.I.T. was acting as the LP’s “musical coordinator” and shared insight about how it would be far different from his previous work.

“This album is crazy,” he explained. “I don’t think people are really gonna have an idea of what I’m coming with. There’s going to be songs from me that you would expect but there’s going to be a level of depth that I’m going to in these songs … This is a side of myself that took basically 43 years to get to and to really be able to lay everything out. This is what everything has been, this is what everything will be.”

Eminem’s "Kamikaze" Surprise Turns Twitter Into A Madhouse

Eminem just pulled one over on his fans on Thursday night (August 30) when he released Kamikaze with absolutely no warning whatsoever.

The 13-track album features Joyner Lucas and Royce Da 5’9 and addresses topics such as the negative reactions to his last album Revival, the dissolution of D12 and his opinions on mumble rap.

The cover art itself pays homage to Beastie Boys’ seminal rap album, 1986’s License To Ill. 

Of course, Twitter exploded with a range of emotions — from excitement and disbelief to confusion and shock. But, evidently Shady is back.

Check out some of the best reactions below.
