Back in 2014, Memphis legend and Three 6 Mafia founding member Gangsta Boo and Houston's BeatKing joined forces for Underground Cassette Tape Music. The collaboration was a big success, and led to lots of fans wondering when they would team up again.

Well, the wait is over. Underground Cassette Tape Music 2 is coming on Oct. 5 (pre-orders start on Sunday, Sept. 30). And to kick things off, the duo is sharing a video for a highlight from the project, "Talking." The clip features Boo and BeatKing, of course. But it also has cameos from a ton of Houston icons. Bun B, Z-Ro, Lil Keke, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Killa Kyleon, and Lil Flip all make appearances.

For Gangsta Boo, whose voice for the track is appropriately pitched down in an homage to DJ Screw, the whole experience was impactful.

"This video and song mean a lot to me because it's SO SOUTHERN, the bounce, the Houston legends in the video speaks volumes!" she told Complex. "I'm from Memphis and we always had love for Texas, so this is Big for the South! No female rapper typically request to rap in a screwed voice while in Houston surrounded by H-Town legends."

BeatKing was happy to bring two cities together. "Houston and Memphis been connected since forever," he explained. "When I was making this beat I was picturing this video. I called all my Houston rap friends to Bruce Bangz studio and everybody showed up. People been calling me a Houston legend for years but I never entertain it. After this video tho I feel I am now lol."
