As much as I love all my favorite classic artists, there’s really nothing better than seeing the next generation come up and begin to establish themselves. I remember when I first heard of B.o.B., I was impressed, but not blown away. Fast forward to almost 2 years later and now I’m definitely a huge fan of Mr. Bobby Ray. He killed every verse and hook in 2008 and ’09 will officially be his break out year.
Not only is he insanely talented, but he’s also a real cool dude. You all saw a glimpse of that in the “Autotune” video, but I got to see it firsthand when B.o.B., Playboy Tre, and their manager B. Rich came through Sound Session to chop it up a while back. We talked all about their backgrounds, B.o.B.’s upcoming debut album, the lead single (“I’ll Be In The Sky”), their ability to write infectious hooks, why their music has to be genuine, why the industry needs a reality check, and much more. You can check out the full interview below:

Big shout to the whole crew for dropping by and a special shout to TJ Chapman too. Get ready for the B.o.B./Tre takeover in ’09, for real.
