B.o.B. (Bobby Ray) released The Adventures of Bobby Ray today, Tuesday, April 27. The local Atlanta rapper, signed to T.I’s Grand Hustle, under Atlantic, was originally scheduled to release his debut full-length in late May, but because of the commercial success of his song “Nothin’ on You” the release date was pushed up a month.
The Adventures of Bobby Ray features some stellar tracks with appearances by Lupe Fiasco, T.I., Playboy Tre, Hayley Williams (of Paramore), Rivers Cuomo (of Weezer), Janelle Monae, Eminem and Giggs. His vibe definitely leans towards the sounds of our beloved Outkast, and he’s sure to follow in the footsteps of those lads as well as the likes of Kanye West and other sharp rappers.
Featured in both XXL and VIBE magazines as one of the musicians to watch in 2009, B.o.B. has most definitely been worth watching and we’re sure that nobody is going to stop him anytime soon.
Check out the great video for “Nothin’ on You” and buy The Adventures of Bobby Ray at your local record store or online today!
