B.o.B | Hip-Hop superstar and Decatur native in 1 on 1 interview | Arts & Culture

Atlanta - Just days away from the 53rd annual Grammy Award show, Decatur native and hip-hop star, B.o.B, stopped into our 11Alive studios to once again share his thoughts and music with his hometown city.  B.o.B was a guest on 11Alive nearly 4 years ago before his 1st album sold thousands of copies and before everyone knew his name.

On this visit he is on the brink of releasing his sophomore album, Strange Clouds, and is excited about the possibilities.  Two singles have already been released/leaked, including 'Strange Clouds' featuring Lil' Wayne and 'Play your Guitar' featuring Andre 3000.  The third single, is what B.o.B told us feels like his "real single".  The new song is called 'So Good' and releases on February 14th.

Since B.o.B first invaded all of our I-pods and play-lists he has been regarded as a highly talented and smart musician, know how to play various instruments and talking about touching topics within his songs.  On this interview occasion I asked him about the recent gang violence that has plagued some of our Atlanta communities, and B.o.B quickly denounced it and said it was like an epidemic that "we all must progress out of."

In a separate clip B.o.B shares who his African-American hero is, as we all continue to celebrate Black History month.
