Sometimes it pays off to be different! B.O.B is a native from Atlanta, GA and is up for five Grammy awards! He is in the running for Record Of The Year, Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, and Best Rap Song for "Nothin' On You" (the first with Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Bruno Mars, and Mike Wilson, the second with Bruno Mars, and the third with Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, and Bruno Mars); Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for "Airplanes, Part II" (with Eminem & Hayley Williams); and Best Rap Album for The Adventures Of Bobby Ray.
Check out this video of B.O.B expressing his gratitude on getting nominated for the five awards!
Honestly this news is not a shock to me, because he is just an outstanding artist, performer and lyricist. He came into this industry full throttle with no chaser and he is doing nothing but moving up. With on only being in this industry since 2006 he really has made an impact on this industry with his different sound. If you did not know, he was signed to Atlantic Records through Jonsin’s Rebel Rock Entertainment and Grand Hustle label, because of his song “Cloud 9” in 2006! He continued to work hard and not give up on his dream. B.O.B is not conforming to the standards of this industry and more artists should be like him. I do not see him going any other way but up.
B.O.B stated, that he is really focused on painting a picture of himself as a musician and an artist and not just a rapper. However if you want to know more about this artist just got to http://www.bobatl.com
