ARTIST OF THE WEEK: B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray.

Bobby Ray isn't your average hip hop artists. As a singer, songwriter, rapper, producer, drummer, keyboardist, and guitar player, he probably has more talent in his pinky finger than you and I have combined. Because he's from the South thinks outside the box, he gets compared to Andre 3000 more than enough, and he's okay with that. But he wants you to know that he's not Andre, he's not your typical southern rapper, and he's not something you can put a label on.

He also talks about the song he did for Reebok in which he flipped the classic Bonita Applebum.

B.O.B. vs. Bobby Ray [MIXTAPE]

B.O.B. is Bobby Ray. Bobby Ray is B.O.B. Call him what you want, but make sure you call him talented. If you don't believe me, listen for yourself. He's actually a musician who just happens to rap. Or a rapper who knows instrumentation, production, musical theory and harmonization. Like I said, he's talented. Hosted by DJ Green Lantern and Don Cannon.

[VIDEO] B.o.B. - "I'll Be In The Sky"

Here's the video for B.o.B.'s first single, "I'll BE In The Sky" which will appear on his upcoming debut album, The Adventures of B.o.B. If you're not familiar with B.o.B., he's a new artist coming out of Atlanta on the Andre 3000 meets The Knux vibe. But B.o.B. is versatile. He's plays instruments, sings, and raps. Dude is talented for real, though. I'm starting to become a fan.

Props to Legend.
