    Bun with us in the summers on summer break in 1988-89 in Houston off Breascourt when I was a Dj for Raheem the Vigilante when Rap A Lot was getting off the ground. Bunny would come to Houston from PA to spend time with his father on breaks from school. I use to go by DJ Def since 1987 at Westbury High School off Grasmere st. I use to use a Casio Sk1 to sample beats and we would all huddle up in the closet. Bushwick Bill was there, Tony Draper before Suave House who I use to hang with on a daily basis because Tony would hustle smoke off Corporate drive and always get me to go with him to the plug who were some Jamaican dude who owned a record store. Bun was the worst rapper at the time who would rap the slowest. Bunny as we called him was always trying to get better and faster at rap and better his lyrics. He would buy Newsweek, and Time magazine and read a lot when we went to the Fiesta grocery store across the street off Breaswood and Gessner. The Geto Boys were staying in a Loft off Breaswood. We saw Bushwick all the time. J Prince would visit the loft to pick up the Geto Boys and take them to the studio so we would see J often. Lil Troy had just dealt Scarface off to Rap A Lot because Troy my OG home till this day was a King Pin in the streets. Bun was always with us but he was very afraid of getting in trouble in the streets. It could have been because of his fathers influence. He would always go in before dark and when we saw the cops he would take a b line to the crib real quick. This is at the time of the crack era at the height so the Jump out Boys who were a task force against drugs had most street hustlers shook. Bun , Shakim, Raheem, J Ice, The Def 4, Tony Draper of Suave, Ty, Thorough aka Ricky or Rex who went to school with me and At Large aka Big Chris of Smooth Criminals of Suave was all teens in the streets in Southwest Houston before there was a Houston Rap Scene. This was before Bun and Pimp formed UGK. This was right before Scarface joined the Geto Boys. I was with Scarface with Bill, and Bushwick Bill and Shakim the night Brad became a Geto Boy. I remember going to the club that night at club Benz celebrating and going to the new Whataburger on South main at 2:30 pm when the club closed. Since we was from the south side we hated Rap A Lot at first. This was because there was plex and tension between the north and south side of Houston back in the late 80s. I was about to get a interview with Chad through Momma Wes talking with her daily right before he died. I was starting Power Players Magazine and Chad wanted to show love so he wanted to schedule a interview and I would talk to Momma Wes daily. Chad told me though the phone he was gonna link up with me when he came back from New York. He got sick trying to change a flat tire on his way to Houston in his red Bently. I was on the phone with Momma Wes and he would still talk to me on 3 way to help me launch the dvd magazine as the person on the cover.. i will yourube my stories soon..

    Im from port arthur born and raise. I never really did listen to ugk until pimp got out of prison and they started fucking with J prince and them houston cats. I mean i heard a few songs, i had the riding dirty cd but i was more into west coast music. Now im a big ugk fan and my question is Why you never featured on a song ??? I would of left college and join bun and pimp once i seen them making it.....Did they ever mention you in any of there songs?????
