UGK fans have been left out in the dust after the Hip Hop duo’s limited edition Supreme capsule collection sold out in a matter of minutes.
Released on Thursday (April 11), the capsule collection featured everything from logo hoodies and caps to T-shirts. Everything harkened back to the pair’s breakthrough 1994 album, Super Tight.

While UGK fans enjoyed the idea of even having a fashionable capsule collection featuring the legendary duet, surviving member Bun B revealed back in 2022 that he hasn’t had much fun with recording new music since Pimp C passed away.
Speaking to HipHopDX in a Zoom interview, the conversation naturally shifted to grief and music’s ability to heal. But Bun B admitted he had a tough time getting back in the saddle after losing his longtime rhyming partner.
“I haven’t really enjoyed making music since Pimp passed away,” he said. “And so now that I get to make music with friends and I’m not under any contractual obligation, I make music because I want to not because I have to, so it’s a different experience for me. For me, it just has to be fun or I’m not going to do it. I just don’t want to do it.”
In October 2005, Bun B wrote a solo song called “The Story,” which detailed UGK’s tumultuous journey. It was written while Pimp C was incarcerated for a probation violation, and Bun B was admittedly struggling both emotionally and mentally. But the song has since become a reminder of how far he’s come since then.

“The beautiful thing about music from a cathartic standpoint, is you can use it as an outlet to say what you want to say and express how you feel, but you don’t have to release it commercially,” he explained. “But it could be something that you do it. Like when I did ‘The Story,’ I recorded it one time and all the way through. Then for months, I couldn’t listen to it because it was so emotional and it was a mark in a specific time in my life where I was very low.
“And so to listen to it was a reminder of how low I was, for me, initially. But now I listen to it and I realize, ‘Wow, look how low you are and look where you are now.’ So it just reminds me no matter how bad you think you feel and how low you think you are, remember how low you were here.”
