Beyonce recruits Texas rap stars for new remix

Written by . Published: March 30 2013

Beyonce is shining the spotlight on her home state of Texas after recruiting rap natives Bun B, Slim Thug and Scarface to feature on the hip-hop remix to her new song I Been On.


Fellow Houston stars Lil Keke, Willie D and Z-Ro also appear on the new version of the track and Bun B dedicated the reworking to his tragic UGK bandmate Pimp C and late pal DJ Screw as he debuted the tune online on Friday (29Mar13).


Sharing a link on Twitter.com, he wrote, "This for Pimp C. Screw. H Town (Houston)... IBeenOnRemix (sic)".


Pimp C died in 2007, while DJ Screw passed away in 2000.


It's not the first time Beyonce has worked with Bun B and Slim Thug - the trio teamed up for a remix of her 2005 single Check On It.
