In a recent interview with XXL, Bun B revealed that he is leaving Warner Bros’ Asylum Records imprint and moving to Universal’s Fontana Distribution for the release of his next LP, Trill O.G.

“[This new situation] works better for me,” Bun told the magazine. “I work better in the small system. When you’re in the big system it’s really about breaking you and exposing you and I think I’ve been able to build a career as far as just associating myself. We’re pretty good with that in-house with Rap-A-Lot. But with Universal we are gonna use their distribution legs and promotional chain, because they do have access that we haven’t been able to have before.”

Although Bun is moving from his former label, he has no ill will towards Asylum.

“[Asylum] helped me immensely over the last four or five years in my career as far as taking, me, myself and UGK to another level. It’s just that the system in house changed. Todd [Moskowitz] got moved up to a higher position and it doesn’t give me as much of an opportunity to be hand on hand on a lot of stuff.”

Bun also revealed that he has completed songs with each Drake, Jamie Foxx, Young Jeezy, and DJ Premier, but the move allows him more time to tighten things up for Trill O.G., not to mention head back to the studio for some fine tuning.

“It gives me time to work with people that I thought I was gonna miss, like Pharrell,” he said. “Pharrell and I have been trying to get together for this album but we’ve been having scheduling conflicts, which actually just opened up a nice window for us to record. And it also gives me a chance to finish up recording with Premier. We was supposed to do two, but I only got one done. We were worried we weren’t gonna get the second one done but we got time to get that done. It’s also given me another chance to do another one with Drake and fine tune that whole situation.”

Bun also hints at a surprise collaboration record that is sure to raise some eyebrows. “All I can tell you is that it’s a legendary song; literally it’s three legends on this song. Two of them is hip-hop and one of them is a cultural icon.” [Source: XXL]
