UGK's Bun B recently got to explaining how he and Pimp C came to befriend a 20-year-old British rapper named Dizzee Rascal.

Bun spoke about the collaboration as part of a larger interview with BallerStatus.com:

Yeah, we met at SXSW, through Matt So Real who runs HoustonSoReal.blogspot. We've done a lot of stuff with each other, some underground stuff with him. We definetly wanted to show the connection between him and us, with us being homies, and show this international collaboration thing fully, so we ended up recording on each others' albums. He is actually in Houston right now. We're going to shoot a video for the song we did for his album. But, he's just a young cat. I like to reach out to some of the young cats in the game that I feel are going to have real effects in the game. Just make sure I can maybe give them a couple of words of advice that people weren't able to give me when I was coming up.

I know I've been saying it ad nauseum over here lately, but if you have not heard the UGK/Rascal collabo from Maths & English, I don't want to be your friend, so...
