B.o.B., Strange Clouds

Amazon.com

B.o.B.'s sophomore album, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop charts and No. 5 on the Billboard 200, featured a plethora of top collabos from Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne and even the rapper's mentor and Grand Hustle boss T.I. For the most part, the LP continues to showcase Bobby Ray's dual personalities in his music, providing melodious hooks that make a feel-good hip- pop song. His slightly more aggressive rapping alter ego also stirs movements with his playful flow. All in all, as a producer of the album, he demonstrates the progression of his production skills.
