Artist Spotlight: B.o.B
B.o.B aka Bobby Ray
Ladies and gentlemen all the way from Decatur, GA I proudly introduce to you B.o.B aka Bobby Ray: the FUTURE of hip hop.
This young man is everything hip hop needs right now. He is ultra-creative, he’s multi-talented, he’s a lyrical genius, he’s intelligent, and he isn’t afraid to zig while everyone else zags. His unique soul/rock hip hop blend and thoughtful lyrics are a breath of fresh air from all the “swagger this swagger that” rap on the radio right now.
When the mainstream finally shines the spotlight on B.o.B he’s going to spread like wild fire. The way he fuses hip hop with other musical styles is seamless and irresistible. His hooks have impeccable melodies that feel like classic soul and rock and roll, and they are downright infectious.

Introducing B.o.B. The future of hip hop.
Disclaimer: B.o.B is the alter-ego of Bobby Ray. While the alter-ego thing isn’t a new trick (remember T.I. vs T.I.P.?), B.o.B is not your average rapper by any means.
“B.o.B vs Bobby Ray” is a stellar mixtape. B.o.B infuses his music with a lot of soul and as a result you (the listener) begin to develop a real connection with him as a person. Most rappers spend too much time bragging for that to happen and its refreshing that B.o.B has the skills to explore a much wider range of subject matter.
