Fellow Houston rappers Paul Wall and Bun B expressed their support for Jordan’s announcement on his Instagram post.

Willie D was not too far behind to declare his candidacy also to serve his hometown of Houston.

Both rapper’s announcements declaring their candidacy came shortly after the third member of their group, Bushwick Bill, died from pancreatic cancer on June 9. He was 52 years-old.
