B.o.B.

Genre-Defying Rap Hitmaker B.o.B. ("Airplanes") at B.B. King Blues Club

One of the biggest hitmakers in rap, Atlanta-based B.o.B. has managed to blend his fast-paced Southern style with pop leanings for a winning mix of chart-topping songs that has allowed him to bridge the gap between hardcore rap heads and mainstream radio fans. B.o.B. burst onto the scene with his debut single, "Nothin' on You," which featured Bruno Mars, and then followed that with the No. 1 hit "Airplanes" and the equally successful "Magic" with Rivers Cuomo. He's continued to push genre definitions with CDs like "Strange Clouds", "Underground Luxury" and 2015's "Psycadelik Thoughtz", featuring cameos from major names like Taylor Swift, Future and 2 Chainz. See him in New York City at B.B. King Blues Club.
