Music career

UGK

Main article: UGK

With best friend Bernard "Bun B" Freeman, Butler formed the rap group Underground Kingz, colloquially known as UGK. In 1992, Jive Records signed UGK and released Too Hard to Swallow, followed by the critically acclaimed Super Tight. The group's third album, Ridin' Dirty, reached #2 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart,2 and their momentum was continued with features on the popular singles "Big Pimpin'" with Jay-Z and "Sippin' on Some Syrup" by Three 6 Mafia. UGK's fourth album, Dirty Money, was distributed in 2001.

Due to Butler's incarceration in 2002, UGK only released two projects prior to 2009: Side Hustles and the eponymous Underground Kingz, the latter of which spawned the hit single "International Players Anthem (I Choose You)", a collaboration with Atlanta's Outkast.

Arrest and solo debut

In 2002, Pimp C was sentenced to eight years in prison for violating his probation.3 His arrest was widely protested by the hip-hop community, who immediately initiated a grassroots "Free Pimp C" campaign.4 While Pimp C was in prison, Rap-A-Lot Records released Sweet James Jones Stories in 2005, most of which consisted of unreleased freestyle recordings.3 On December 30, 2005, Pimp C was released from prison and placed on parole until December 2009.5

Death

Pimp C died on December 4, 2007. He was dead in a hotel room in Los Angeles according to the Los Angeles County Coroner, Butler suffered respiratory depression caused by an accidental overdose of promethazine and codeine cough syrup coupled with a preexisting sleep apnea condition. Like many other Southern rappers, Pimp C frequently referenced the recreational consumption of "sizzurp" in his music.6
