In an age where good music is fleeting and albums have only one good song, this rap album from BoB, aka Bobby Ray, is a joy. The album could indicate that we have a new rap star on the horizon.

Many people often complain about rap music. They will tell you that it is just someone speaking or yelling obscenities into a microphone. They will also tell you that these people, these MCs, are not really artists. Well, these people could change their minds by listening to the adventures of Bobby Ray.

So who is Bobby Ray, or BoB as he is known? Well, he’s a native of North Carolina and he’s only 21 years old. However, his age doesn’t seem to distract him from making good music or having the industry greats join him on his first endeavor. On this album, you’ll find that he’s joined by the likes of Hayley Williams, Eminem, and many more. Clearly, the leaders of the rap community recognize the talents of young Bobbie Ray.

The song that leads the way on this album is called “Nothin ‘On You.” In fact, this single was so popular that it led to an early album release. When “Nothin ‘On You” aired with a video to go with it, people were clamoring for the album. Therefore, the studio released a faster than anticipated release.

Not all Bobby Ray songs are structured like pop hits, but this song comes close. With Bruno Mars, it is clearly a song to get the attention of women, a goal he easily achieved. “Nothin ‘On You”, however, is just the title track of an album that brings you many great efforts.

Let’s consider the song “Don’t Let Me Fall”. For me, this is perhaps one of the best songs on the album. The song recalls the life of Bobby Ray as he climbs the rap music ladder. Clearly, he’s on his way and this song is a serious expression – with piano and chorus – of his desire not to be eaten and spat on by the music community.

The album continues with one great song after another. My next favorite song on this album is called “Kids” and it features Janelle Monae, the Grammy nominated singer with a voice that won’t give up. With solid lyrics, great vocals, and unbeatable rhythm, this is another track that makes the album worth buying.

All in all, The Adventures of Bobby Ray is one of the best rap albums out there today. With fresh lyrics combining rap and some kind of pop music, BoB or Bobby Ray is someone we will see for many years to come.

While some artists release a good song in hopes of selling a weak album, Bobby Ray is not a marvel of success with “Nothin ‘On You.” This whole album is great!
