The state of North Carolina has already given us acts like Little Brother, and more recently hip-hop promise J. Cole, but also musician / rapper BoB comes from this southern part of America. He became known for his big hit Nothin 'On You, which is on the record The Adventures of Bobby Ray, but for this official album he had already released two mixtapes that made an impression within the hip-hop
… world. There were even comparisons with André 3000 van Outkast. When listening to Bobby Ray's record it soon becomes clear why they see similarities. The two artists share a certain degree of eccentricity, skill at playing instruments and the fact that their music often transcends hip-hop as a genre. We hear BoB sing about synth beats, but he also knows how to bless propelling Dirty South productions with his distinct presentation. BoB is the perfect mix between personality and musical talent and despite the fact that The Adventures of Bobby Ray lacks a clear storyline, he is probably on the cusp of a successful adventure.
