The Southern emcee has considered two possible follow-ups to his current hits, “Nothin’ On You” and “Airplanes.”

“I think ‘Magic’ is one where, in terms of the pop crowd, it’ll really be the hit, the record of choice,” B.o.B said in an interview. “I think ‘Don’t Let Me Fall’ is the song that people just kinda embrace naturally. It doesn’t even have to be pushed or on the radio. When I perform and do shows, people sing ‘Don’t Let Me Fall’ just as much as ‘Nothin’ On You’ and ‘Airplanes.'” (MTV)

Earlier this month, B.o.B. said his best records came from not having excessive resources.

“I made the best music when I didn’t have a budget. And when I say best, I mean more organic music when I had a smaller budget, and that’s something that I’m trying to stay in touch with,” he states, reflecting on the days when he would go so far as to record himself tap dancing into a mic to produce a unique beat. “It’s like, who’s to say what sounds right? If it sounds good to me, then that’s cool because I’m the artist. You have so many people who are forcing the hand of artistry. And I think that’s what I don’t want to lose [as] the budgets get bigger.” (YRB Magazine)

Recently, B.o.B. producer Alex da Kid spoke with SOHH about working on the rapper’s debut, The Adventures of Bobby Ray.

“I met B.o.B. about two years ago in LA, it was like a last minute session and we actually didn’t really do anything in that session, we were just talking and then I went to the strip club, [laughs],” Alex told SOHH about befriending B.o.B. “He’s a super cool guy, but we didn’t speak for a little while because we were so busy but obviously I’m just super proud of him. He was on the label for a while and you see that so much where an artist will get signed and then kinda left on the label and then he did the deal with T.I. over at Grand Hustle which made people kinda stand up and pay more attention. He’s got a great team around him and what I love about him is he does something different, he’s not just a regular rapper. He’s super talented, he can play guitar and sing and do something different.” (SOHH)

B.o.B.’s debut topped the charts upon its release in late April.
