On the heels of a new partnership with menswear label PURPLE, BunBTrillOG talks about the influence of Houston on hip-hop music and style.
Your performance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo also coincides with Black Heritage Day. Can you talk about what this performance means to you?
To be a part of the rodeo in itself is one thing. To be from Houston, it’s additional, and to be Black from Houston, is unheard of. So to do it on Black Heritage Day is like a penultimate moment for me as a Black Houstonian that makes hip-hop music. You couldn’t really ask for a better stage to present yourself in the city. But to be very clear, Black Heritage Day is not like the day where all the Black people come out. It’s the day where everyone comes out that celebrates Black Heritage.
The rodeo is generational. The first concert I ever went to, my mother took me and my brothers to the rodeo, and now we take our children and I take my grandchildren. So I’ll perform with four generations of my family in that building. And there’s gonna be entertainment for all of us. The rodeo prides itself on being a family-friendly environment. We won’t be getting vulgar, we won’t be grabbing our dicks. You won’t hear any hard M’s, F’s, N’s or B’s.
So although the rodeo has been inclusive when it comes to Black Heritage Day and Black artists, hip-hop has been a whole different thing. And again, that goes to the point of the rodeo being something very family-friendly.
