Lost in all the commotion that was Kanye West’s arrival to Twitter was Bun B using his new Twitter account to actually promote his upcoming Trill O.G., which drops on Tuesday. One of the major tracks he let loose to the public was Put It Down, a new cut with worldwide favorite Drake that extends their collaborative streak from Drizzy’s breakthrough So Far Gone mixtape. With most collaborations you expect artists to sound forced as they try to meet high expectations - not these two. Over some thumping organ work by Boi-1da sprinkled between an instantly catchy chorus from Young Money’s own, Drake and Bun express both their past accomplishments; Bun letting folks know he’s done everything except walk on water and Drake taking the Birdman approach, not only driving home the N-word but reminding the world Thank Me Later has gone platinum. Some have called these two the second incarnation of UGK, but it’s still far too early for such lofty praise. Regardless, make sure you take your time to pick up Trill O.G. on August 3, and check for the DJ Booth review of the album, coming Monday.

Not as uberly-dope as I would have hoped for from a track with these two Booth favorites, but another worthy "4" for Bun on what seems like one heck of an album (review coming tomorrow to the Booth).

Dope. One of my favourite songs on the album. I prefer the other Drake feature, "It's Been A Pleasure", to this though. I was waiting for that one since it leaked with a Drake verse and was rumored as a Jeezy track.

The production is good, Bun B rhymes are good and I really like Drake's work on here. It's good, but not as great as "Uptown" was. It still gets a four. I usually don't listen to a lot of Bun B, but "No Mixtape" and the songs from Trill OG have been great. The new album should be a good one.

Not as good as I expected, but none the less it's a banger. That just shows the lofty expectations and consistency Drake and Bun both provide.

This is just classic Bun B, and Drake just fits right in on here and the outro track. I've heard the whole album and as always he Bun delivers an incredible album. This isn't the best song on the LP however.

I can't get with Drake's sudden breaks in his rapping with "smooth" vocals, since I figured he can't do it live not even if his life depended on it.

Bun B will never be more than a great featured artist. He's not charismatic or vocally impressive enough to really be successful on the solo tip, sorry Bun. And ya, Drake overshadowed Bun like a @*#$! solar eclipse.

Is there a better producer than Boi-1da in the game today? Bun B ripz this sh*t apart and Drake delivers a good verse and hook. Love the Trill-like southern vibe to this song. This should remind anybody of Uptown.

Dunno why, but im not feeling this... which is similar to just about every track that Bun's released lately. Besides that Premier produced track, I dont get what the hypes about surrounding Bun's next album...

I feel bad saying this, but I feel like this would have actually been better without Drake. That beat screams Dirty South, and Drizzy's chorus lightens it up too much. That's no knock on Drake, I just don't think it was the best fit for him. With that said, it's still one of the better tracks you'll hear in a minute - Trill O.G. is one hell of an album. UGK for life.

Why does each release from this album actually lower my expectations for it? Countin Money and Just Like That were real, this just seems like a cool beat + star power.

I have been waiting for this song to come out for almost a year now since I heard the clip. Wasn't sure if this would wind up on a Drake album or a Bun B album, but I guess we know now. Bun B KILLS this beat and Drake HURTS the chorus. The production is CRAZY. CLASSIC SHIT!

Dope song right here. Boi's beat sounds new but still has a houston feel to it. Bun was great and always go hard. I love Drake's hook but he should of been left off the 3rd verse. Trill OG is one of the best albums out this year.
