II Trill (Rap-A-Lot, 2008) by Bun B

Between Bun's first and second solo albums: Pimp C was released from prison, UGK topped the charts with Underground Kingz and then Pimp C died.  However, despite all the drama, he was able to put together a great second set of music.  "That's Gangsta" featuring Sean Kingston was a great single that didn't compromise Bun's swagger and "You're Everything" which samples Jodeci's "Cry for You" pays homage to southern hip hop.  "Get Cha Issue" and If I Die II Night" provide deep lyrics and social commentary.  The most noteworthy record though is "Angel in the Sky"- a very touching song eulogizing his friend, Chad "Pimp C" Butler.
