Pimp C

Chad Lamont Butler, known professionally as Pimp C, was a pivotal figure in the Southern hip-hop movement, particularly in the sub-genre of dirty south rap. Born on December 29, 1973, in Port Arthur, Texas, Pimp C co-founded the influential hip-hop group UGK (UnderGround Kingz) alongside his partner Bun B. The duo is renowned for their seminal contributions to the genre and for putting Southern hip-hop on the map.

Pimp C’s sound was characterized by its soulful blend of funk and gritty rap narratives, which captured the essence of Southern street life. His sharp production skills and distinct delivery helped UGK gain a dedicated following, eventually leading to mainstream success with the 2007 hit "International Players Anthem (I Choose You)" featuring OutKast. Despite reaching new heights of fame, Pimp C's life was tragically cut short when he passed away on December 4, 2007. Nevertheless, his legacy continued through posthumous releases that fans embraced with great reverence, including albums like "Pimp C Presents: Certified 17," "Long Live the Pimp," and "The Naked Soul of Sweet Jones (Screwed)." Pimp C's influence in the industry lives on, solidified by his honest lyricism and the indelible mark he left on hip-hop culture.
