Known professionally as Pimp C, he is one-half of southern hip hop act UGK. UGK, which also includes Bun B, was a successful act in the Southern U.S. during the late-1990s and early-2000s, and also made prominent guest appearances on hit singles by Jay-Z ("Big Pimpin'", 2000) and Three 6 Mafia ("Sippin' On Some Sizzurp", 2000).
On January 28 2002, Pimp C was sentenced to eight years in prison for not completing community service which he got for an aggravated gun assault charge. Pimp C released his debut solo album, The Sweet James Jones Stories, in March 2005 through Rap-A-Lot Records.
Pimp C was released on Friday, December 30, 2005 from the Terrell Prison Unit in Livingston, Texas.
UGK member Pimp C was treated for minor injuries Wednesday (April 18), after he was involved in a car accident while leaving the video shoot for his new single "Pourin' Up." A Port Arthur Police officer that was escorting the rappers responded to the gunfire and pursued the shooters.
As the suspects fled through local neighborhoods on a flat tire, they crossed over Gulf Way Dr., ran a red light and struck Pimp C's Bentley at high speed. Pimp C was treated for minor injuries and released but the Rap-A-Lot security guard is still in the hospital, although he is expected to make a full recovery. Pimp C's new album Pimpalation is slated to hit stores June 13. (AllHIPHOP.COM)
