Nearly five years after he released his last studio album, Bun B is back with his long-awaited Return of the Trill project.
The 14-track effort, which was announced back in February, includes the previously released single “Recognize” with T.I. and Big K.R.I.T., as well as guest appearances by Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Yo Gotti, Run the Jewels, Pimp C, and Leon Bridges.
During a recent interview on Sway's Universe, the UGK rapper said he wanted the project to remind everyone about the true meaning of “trill.”
“With this new album, we’re just kind of returning to what ‘trill’ originally meant. Because a lot of people are co-opting the term, and trying to make it mean what they want it to mean. But we know what it really stands for,” he explained. “Being trill doesn’t mean you gangsta, doesn’t mean you’re in a gang, doesn’t mean you done caught a case, bought you a gun—none of that has to do with being trill. Being trill is about being honest with yourself about who you are […] being trill is just about being comfortable in your own skin.”
You can stream Return of the Trill now on all major streaming services, including Apple Music/iTunes and Spotify.
