Cash Flow

Earlier in the week, I wrote about the new Jay–Z single which basically calls for the end of the Auto-tune. Whether or not that will be heeded we can only wait to find out (probably not going to work). Either way after listening to the interviews following his Hot 97 Summer Jam appearance (Hip Hop’s biggest yearly event) he seems to be backing off the harshly lyrics in his songs. Chalk this up to another smart marketing move (similar to Nasir Jones Hip Hop is Dead movement). Either way I suddenly remembered this video put up by Atlanta artist B.O.B back in January.

B.O.B ,or Bobby Ray as he now likes to be called, is a rapper/singer from Atlanta. He is often compared to Andre 3000 due to his versatile singing style. He is must more than that he is also a multi instrumentalist and is known for his captivating live shows. He recently did a remix of a stone cold classic (aka a song that can never be fucked with Bonita Applebum by ATCQ) for the Reebok Classics series which was fantastic. I have been getting up to Put Me On for the past week.

He is signed to T.I’s label which is odd since you maybe wouldn’t expect him to be included in a group that featured Alfamega. He is most likely to be the one to break out and achieve his own success ala Lupe Fiasco.
