Review

"B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray" hit the scene on April 27, 2010, and immediately showed the world what B.o.B was all about. With its genre-bending style, this debut studio album from American rapper B.o.B is no ordinary debut. A star-studded production ensemble featuring the likes of Crada, Dr. Luke, The Smeezingtons, and B.o.B himself contribute to this musical potpourri, enriching B.o.B’s versatile sound and flavor.

There's no denying the force this album burst onto the charts with, strutting right to number one on the US Billboard 200. "Nothin' on You" alongside Bruno Mars, "Airplanes", and "Magic" strutted their stuff as chart-toppers, filling the airwaves with B.o.B’s magic touch, proving he could blend intricate rhyme schemes with that catchy factor. Critics were smitten, too, acknowledging his easy-breezy knack for waltzing across genres, with David Jeffries (from AllMusic notoriety) praising its metamorphosis into something bigger upon each slice of sound.

Internationally, it didn't slow its roll either, turning heads by debuting at number seven in Canada and making solid impressions in Australia and New Zealand. As a debut, "B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray" is the breakthrough that solidified B.o.B’s spot in the hip-hop universe, a shining blend of diverse styles and irresistible appeal. - Tatiana
