It’s almost crazy to think that B.o.B hasn’t even dropped an official album yet. Fortunately that day is just a few months away, and until then we have this to hold us over. Alongside DJ Drama & DJ Sense he gives us the May25th mixtape. With guest appearances by J. Cole, fellow ’09 classmate Asher Roth, and more as well as production by Alchemist and Kanye this tape is sure to get a few plays on your iTunes.

The homey Court Dunn is steadily becoming one of the top directors in independent hip-hop, and the way he’s going, he’ll soon be knocking out clips for some major label artists as well. I’ve highlighted some of his work on TAOD before, but in case you’ve been sleeping, check out this reel to see some highlights (and hear a crazy beat from Apple Juice Kid as the soundtrack).
Director Court Dunn has become a prolific force behind the NYC hip-hop scene over the past year-and-a-half, releasing 27 music videos and countless other freelance projects. A frequent collaborator with Vimby.com, he has worked with such artists as Jim Jones, Clipse, Styles P, Camp Lo, B.o.B, Idle Warship, Termanology, Tanya Morgan, Edo.G, etc. and is known for his frequent collaboration with Same Plate artists Emilio Rojas, Donny Goines and J The S.
Specializing in creativity over resources with minimalist sensibilities, Court’s accolades to date include videos on MTV Tres and MTVU (Winner “The Freshmen), a feature film in MovieMaker Magazine (“Future of Filmmaking†issue) and 2 Exclusive Video Series on major hip-hop sites HipHopDX.com and Nahright.com.

Bobby Ray flips the classic Tribe track for his edition of the Reebok Classic series and absolutely murders the hook. Super catchy. Shout to the Cornerstone folks, B Rich, Tre, and TJ…dope job fellas.
I’ve been waiting for this mixtape for a minute, and not only did it drop, but TJ, B Rich, Bobby Ray, Tre, and the crew released it in the always clutch “No DJ” format. It pains me as a DJ to say this, but 99% of time when a DJ is involved with a project with new material these days, it’s a detriment. If you really want a DJ on your tape, just have him (or her…hi ladies) mix it cohesively and don’t let them get on the mic. You can download my old tape with Amen if you’re curious to see how a DJ can actually help the project. Shocking, I know.
Anyway, enough ranting. Peep B.o.B’s new tape where he continues to bend genres and explore his Bobby Ray side. This dude might be the most musically gifted of all the ‘new’ MC’s and he’s certainly one of my favorite artists right now.
