Who The &#$@ is BOB?

Nowadays everybody wants to be be a rapper
About two years ago, everybody was a trapper
Obviously, money is what everybody's after
'Cause slavery ain't changed, it's a modern-day disaster
-"Generation Lost"

.. B.o.B. is the name, haters please jot this one down 'cause you're gonna need it for future reference. I knew this ATLien had talent after vibing to "I'll Be In The Sky" and everything I've heard thus far hasn't disappointed.

Throughout his latest mixtape Who The Fk!c Is B.o.B. presented by DJ Scream, MLK & DJ Spinz, B.o.B. shows traces of Andre 3-Stacks' lyrical dexterity and moments of Tip's swag. What grabs the listener's attention is dude's versatility - he ruminates death on "I'll Be In The Sky" then waxes poetic about identity crisis in hip-hop on "Generation Lost."

If you're open to southern-fried freshness, I suggest grab these tracks below then DL the whole mixtape at your local digital bodega (shouts to Xclusives Zone), Enjoy!

Big Boi Gives Details of Solo LP

ATLien Big Boi, one half of arguably the greatest hip-hop group of all time, told Vibe magazine some of details about his new solo album set for an '08 release:

I'm going to put 12 songs on there, I'm finished with like nine right now. I plan on releasing a single on December 31 at midnight going into the New Year, 'cause I want all the stuff to be '08, everything to be brand new. It's going to be a lot of surprises. We just really trying to bring that good music back.

Though there is no official title, he's considering Sir Luscious Left Foot. Haha, my dude...

His partner-in-rhyme Andre 3000 also has plans for an '08 solo LP, and the group could finish off the year with an Outkast disc. After slaughtering "The Art of Storytellin' Part 4" off Drama's CD, these two need to bring their unique freshness and constant innovation back to the game, heavy!
