(4 stars), whilst The Times said "In Britain we prefer our rap home-grown, but B.o.B is an exception...he bought a breath of fresh air back to rap." (4 stars).  Having just wrapped up a sold out US tour supporting Atlantic labelmate Lupe Fiasco B.o.B has just kicked off a headline tour of his own across the US.


“B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray”, sees the resourceful rapper producing the majority of the album by himself, while also playing multiple musical instruments, including piano, trumpet and French horn.  In addition, B.o.B is joined by a star-studded line-up of surprising special guests, including Hayley Williams of Paramore, T.I., Eminem, Janelle Monáe, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, Playboy Tre, and Lupe Fiasco.  Endlessly inventive tracks such as “5th Dimension” and “Magic” offer a fascinating journey into a gifted new talent’s far-reaching imagination.
