UGK

UGK is a rap act from Port Arthur, Texas. The acronym stands for "Underground Kingz".

Members include Pimp C and Bun B.

While their respect in the Southern rap scene is paralleled perhaps only by the Geto Boys or Outkast, they did not receive national attention until they made a feature spot on Jay Z's single "Big Pimpin". They are often compared to Memphis' Eightball & MJG because both Southern acts have been around for years and have a funky sound.
