The Source Crowns Bun B’s “Trill OG” a Hip-Hop Classic

Posted: Aug 3, 2010 by Sean Lynch


Congratulations to Rap-A-Lot Records recording artist Bun B for his latest release, Trill OG. In the upcoming issue of The Source, we reviewed albums from a list of Hip-Hop heavy hitters who each has recently released a stunning well-crafted body of work that has shaped the year’s best albums creatively, lyrically and production-wise. The artists albums' that were rated in this issue were, Eminem [Recovery], Rick Ross [Teflon Don], Big Boi [Sir Lucious Left Foot - The Son of Chico Dusty], Fat Joe [The Darkside Vol.1], Drake [Thank Me Later] and The Roots [How I Got Over].

Each album went through meticulous review from The Source’s ‘Mind Squad’ across different categories that included originality, lyrical content, arrangement and production. Trill O.G. scored high enough to receive 5 mics, the holy grail of Hip-Hop ratings, granting it admission into an elite club of timeless musical compositions that span over 20 years. The album rating system has been a staple for the magazine in announcing which artists have put together the best album from start to finish. Bun B is the first artist to receive this honor in over 5 years. 

 
The state of Hip-Hop music returns strong with these releases and The Source celebrates the return of Hip-Hop dominance. These  artists have pushed the envelope, crafted chart topping music and are helping restore Hip-Hop’s dominance, with Bun B the leading the pack. Trill O.G.’s  [5 mics] rating is something only a select few have received in the 22-year history of The Source.
