B.o.B. aka Bobby Ray is in the lab putting the finishing touches on his debut LP B.o.B. PRESENTS THE ADVENTURES OF BOBBY RAY.

Signed to joint partnership deal with super producer Jim Jonsin’s Rebel Rock Entertainment and T.I.’s Grand Hustle labels respectively with Atlantic Records, the ATL wonder kid who raps and sings is producing the majority of the album by himself. Currently featured on T.I.’s latest album Paper Trail on the track “On Top Of the World” featuring Ludacris, Bobby Ray stated:

“I just want to show people that there are endless possibilities of what you can do. You don’t just have to be a rapper, you don’t just have to be a trapper; you can be anything you want to be and whatever you do, just love it and it will show.”
