HOUSTON – If you’ve been keeping up with Houston rap legend Bun B, then you know he’s taking over the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Black Heritage Day.
Dubbed the Southern Takeover, the star-studded night is set to feature some of the hottest artists in the hip-hop and R&B community.

On Jan. 31, the Houston Rodeo officials decided to get fans involved in the show by having them like a social media post for the release of artists each week.
When the post receives over 10,000 likes in less than 24 hours, Bun B will drop the names.
On the first week, just hours after the first post was made, Bun B announced Juvenile and Mannie Fresh would represent the state of Louisiana.
“You win. Juvenile, Mannie Fresh and others from Louisiana will join me March 3,” Bun B wrote on Instagram.
On Tuesday, Feb. 7, Bun B revealed the second set of artists, this time representing Tennessee - 8Ball, MJG and others.
Tickets for all rodeo performances, including Bun B’s, are currently on sale now.
The 2023 rodeo will run from Feb. 28 through March 19.
