I knew nothing about these cats when I heard this song, but that is the beauty of this thing that we do here. I hear a track from some artist, realize I know nothing about said artist, search for everything I can about said artist and sometimes realize said artist is actually said artists plural.

The label “On The Grind” couldn’t have been any more suitable for rapper-production team Mistah F.A.B. and Tha Bizness. Fabby Davis has been lacing the internet as of late and Dow Jones & Henny have been hitting the studio themselves.

Bobby Ray (B.o.B.) & T.I. Performing “On Top Of Da World” @ Atlanta’s The Loft

We’ve been calling him Bobby Ray for a minute so this suits me just fine. Now, The Artist Formerly Known As B.o.B. says that’s what he prefers that you call him as well.

“Now I go by the name ‘Bobby Ray.’ Make sure you put ‘Bobby Ray,’ ” the MC revealed. “I’m really going into a new direction — more free and not trying to live up to any particular genre. I don’t feel like I’ve been doing that. I don’t feel like I’ve been trying to fit in, but I feel even more free-spirited. I have more willingness musically. That’s all I’m about. I’m about guitars, chords and keyboards.”
