There are pros and there are bros and there certain individuals who are both. Bun B wasn’t even scheduled to perform at The Levi’s®/FADER Fort on Saturday—he was just hanging out in the VIP doing interviews and enjoying his birthday. But when Rick Ross was a no show, Bun came through and delivered a performance of solo and UGK classics that got the crowd going like few other artists did the whole week. We, in gratitude, delivered a big yellow birthday cake. Happy Birthday, Bun! Thanks for everything.

You can see the result after the jump.

Notice the drops of the The Runners sound (‘breath of fresh air’ – that’s the official description of the sound) in the beginning and end.

Shouts to my girl / The Runners’s assistant Jessie Maguire for the clip. She got a little cameo in it.

Shouts to TJsDJs.

This from FADER’s official YouTube so the quality is better than the live stream that had everybody moving as slow as robots.

Plus the audio is direct, much clearer than the flipcam mic audio everybody else got.
