Despite just finishing a collaborative album with Cory Mo, Bun B says that he still has more music on the way, including an album’s worth of material recorded with Big K.R.I.T. The UGK rapper discussed the unreleased music during a recent interview with HipHopDX.

“I just put out something very recently with a good friend and longtime collaborator of mine named Cory Mo,” Bun B told the outlet. “The album’s called Mo Trill and that’s out now. That’s my newest release. And I’ve got a couple of things cooking. I’m working on something with Mannie Fresh right now as a full length album and a couple other producers. Cool & Dre, we’ve been sitting on some songs. We started a project before the pandemic and it’s just been really up to us to reconnect.”

He continued: “But I’m trying to get down there for Rolling Loud. I’m going to have my burgers at Rolling Loud as well. Not to talk about Rolling Loud or whatever, but hopefully I’ll see them in Miami and try to get some more recording done with them. I still have another album worth of music that Big K.R.I.T. and I recorded a couple of years ago. I’m just trying to stay active. I know Zaytoven and I have some songs. I’m just trying to tap in with friends.”

Bun B’s album with Cory Mo, Mo Trill, was released back in May. The project features guest appearances from  Benny The Butcher, Talib Kweli, 2 Chainz, and more.

Elsewhere in the interview, Bun B admitted that he hasn’t enjoyed making music since the death of his UGK partner, Pimp C. The late rapper passed away in December 2007 at just 33 years old.

Bun B is scheduled to bring his Trill Mealz Food Court to LL COOL J’s inaugural Rock The Bells Festival in Queens, later this summer.

A cameraman working on the upcoming horror film, Skill House, which features 50 Cent, passed out while filming a particularly nauseating scene, last weekend. 50 said in an Instagram post on Tuesday that the camera fell to the ground when the operator became ill.

“The camera fell to the ground while filming,” 50 captioned a headline referencing the story. “This shit is gonna be crazy for real.”

The film’s director, Josh Stolberg, also confirmed the story in a post on Twitter: “Yikes!!! We shot a kill scene last night and the camera operator became so nauseated that he passed out and the camera crashed to the ground. Had to stop down for a 1/2 hour. He’s okay now but… get ready for some crazy shit!”

In addition to 50 Cent, the film stars Neal McDonough, Leah Pipes, Hannah Stocking, and Bryce Hall. The film appears to be a horror satire about influencers and other social media personalities who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve success.

“This film is bursting with mavericks of entertainment, many of them spanning multiple genres and platforms,” said Ryan Kavanaugh, whose company, Proxima Media, is producing the film. “From a global rap and hip-hop music icon to a businessman, actor, writer, and producer – if anyone knows a thing or two about breaking the boundaries, it’s 50 Cent. I’m honored to work alongside him as we watch Bryce do the same with his career.”

Sources close to the rapper confirmed that the deceased was her 17-year-old niece, Suga, who is described as a high school student about to enter her senior year. Miami Police are currently trying to determine why she was in the area at the time of the shooting since she didn’t live there. 

“The woman who was pronounced deceased on the scene was there visiting, she didn’t live in that precise area,” said Miami Police Officer Kenia Fallat. “We don’t know who was the intended target, but definitely, it was a very big scene and we still are trying to work to getting more answers.”

Fallat added that the two other victims were in their mid-20s and in stable condition. 

The investigation is now being focused on a black Mercedes-Benz SUV that was uncovered a mile north of the shooting. Police said they found bullet holes in the car and shattered windows in the backwind shield and the side of the vehicle.

Trina has yet to issue any statements regarding the death of her niece. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding the shooting.
