"STRANGE CLOUDS" is the follow-up to B.o.B's critically-acclaimed, RIAA-certified Gold debut album, "B.o.B PRESENTS: THE ADVENTURES OF BOBBY RAY," which earned an outstanding five Grammy nominations including "Best Rap Album." The album also spawned three multiplatinum singles, "Nothin' On You (feat. Bruno Mars)," "Magic (feat. Rivers Cuomo)," and "Airplanes (feat.

As if all this weren't enough, this past Monday saw B.o.B being called on by President Obama to headline his re-election fundraiser at Los Angeles' famed House of Blues, making this the second time the rapper has performed for the President, after performing at the GEN44 Summit last September at the White House.

All this excitement comes after an incredible year, which saw the superstar taking the stage at the 2011 Grammy Awards alongside labelmates, and fellow collaborators, Bruno Mars and Janelle Monae for a medley performance that was undeniably one of the greatest moments of the night. In addition to joining both Lupe Fiasco's "Steppin' Laser Tour" and Rihanna's North American "LOUD Tour," B.o.B also embarked on his first headlining, international "Shootin' For Stars World Tour."
"B.o.B PRESENTS: THE ADVENTURES OF BOBBY RAY" debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart and was heralded by the smash debut single "Nothin' On You (feat. Bruno Mars)," which catapulted to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart. B.o.B also celebrated the album's release with a number of high-profiled TV appearances including The Ellen Degeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Wendy Williams Show, Saturday Night Live and The Mo'Nique Show, while gracing the covers of national publications including Complex and VIBE. Adding to this, B.o.B is one of the faces of Adidas' 2011 "All Adidas" global brand campaign, which also includes the likes of Katy Perry, David Beckham and NBA star Derrick Rose.
B.o.B is currently in the studio working on his sophomore album, slated for a Spring 2012 release.
