B.O.B & Airplanes

B.O.B - This guy is big in the States now.
Don't know much about this rapper, except that he's new. I'm sure you have heard him on radio - his song with Bruno Mars called 'Nothin on You' is a smash hit.

Speaking of Bruno Mars, he did another song with Travis McCoy (frontman of Gym Class Heroes) called 'Billionaire' which happens to have the same vibe as Nothin on You. Both worth downloading.

Back to B.O.B and his new single, featuring Hayley Williams the red haired vocalist of Paramore. Wow it seems everyone is doing collaborations now! Most of it has been magic. Their song 'Airplanes' is pretty cool, but I admit I wouldn't have paid attention to it if not for Hayley.

A lot of times that's how a rap song works best. If it were purely rap from start to end, it just would not gain as many fans (non-rap listeners) than if it were to incorporate some vocals, especially female vocals. *think Jay Z and Alicia Keys on Empire State of Mind*
