The Adventures of Bobby Ray

After a couple of EPs and mixtapes, Bobby Ray has finally raised the bar higher, thanks to his powerful vocals that he's maintained during his long run. Now his 'no genre' style has led to more international recognition, with loads of support from today's big names such Bruno MArs, Hailey Williams (Paramore), Rivers Cuomo (Weezer), Lupe Fiasco, T.I. and Eminem. 

Definitely no wannabe, this guy writes, sings, raps and produces his own songs. No surprise then that he's hotly tipped for further international success

B.o.B is one of those kind of hip hop artists that go way beyond the boundaries of usual rappers. The thing that makes B.o.B so special is that his creativeness isn't controlled by what everyone else likes, he likes do things his way. B.o.B is a rapper, singer, musician and producer which basically means that he has control of everything he is doing which is something a lot of rappers can't say. He combines a lot of musical genres such as techno, rock, pop and a little bit of jazz into his music which makes this album very versitile.

This album is a very good debut album, it introduces the listeners to what kind of artist B.o.B is. The album is good in creativeness but there is no real balance to it, it feels like he is experiementing a bit too much because every single track is different (which may be a good thing) but for me is really hard to stay focus to who B.o.B really is. The production on this album is very well done, theres nothing on this album that is too crazy or disjointed, and B.o.B's lyrical ability deserves some credit, he flow can change with the beat very easilt and smooth. The only thing I have a problem with this album is the fact that there is no real balance to the album, there is no real theme, its just a bunch of a really good songs that B.o.B put together.
