Houston’s music and cultural scene is gearing up for a memorable celebration as hip-hop icon Bun B officially announced the Black Rodeo Finale Party, featuring fellow Houston legend Slim Thug. The event caps off the annual Black Rodeo Weekend, a major cultural gathering that blends music, fashion and community pride, and promises to draw fans from across Texas and beyond.
Scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 8, 2026, the finale party will bring together some of Houston’s most respected names in hip-hop for a night of performances, fan interaction and celebration. The announcement follows a week of Black Rodeo activities that include concerts, fashion shows, tailgates and fan events tied to the celebratory spirit of Houston Rodeo Week.
Bun B, one half of the legendary duo UGK (Underground Kingz), has long been a pillar of the Houston music community. Known for his thoughtful lyricism and his enduring influence on southern hip-hop, Bun B has become synonymous with cultural pride and a voice for Houston artists. His announcement of the Black Rodeo finale solidifies the event’s reputation as more than just a local party — it’s a city-wide cultural moment.
Joining Bun B as a headliner is Slim Thug, another Houston heavyweight who emerged in the mid-2000s with his breakout hit Still Tippin’ and has since remained a staple of the city’s hip-hop identity. Their collaboration for the finale party bridges generations of Houston rap fans and promises powerful performances and energy indicative of the city’s rich musical heritage.

Fans have responded enthusiastically on social media, sharing excitement for the event and anticipation for the performances. Many see this finale party as a perfect end to a weekend that celebrates not only music but community identity and cultural pride.

By anchoring its finale with heavyweights like Bun B and Slim Thug, the event continues a trend of recognizing both legacy and current influence in the city’s entertainment sphere. It’s a reminder that Houston hip-hop has not only endured but remains a driving force in music and culture.
