B.o.B ‘s second LP Strange Clouds is due to fill the sky via an official release on May 1. In the meantime, the multi-talented MC has revealed the album’s tracklist, which contains some of the usual suspects ( Lil Wayne , T.I. , Nicki Minaj ), another collaboration with “So Good” producer Ryan Tedder , that announced Taylor Swift pair-up and — wait for it — a song called “Bombs Away” featuring Shawshank Redemption and Seven actor Morgan Freeman . We’re not quite sure what Miss Daisy would have to say about this, but you can catch the full tracklist below.

Fresh off the premiere of split-personality Strange Clouds jam “Where Are You (B.o.B Vs. Bobby Ray)” , B.o.B and a beautiful, dark-haired lady friend travel the globe in the jet-setting video for single “So Good” . Marble halls, museums, city streets, cafes, the Trevi Fountain and palm trees highlight the pair’s adventures across the world, and the feel-good visual perfectly matches the mood of the Ryan Tedder-produced song.

Ahead of upcoming LP Strange Clouds (out May 1), B.o.B has released a B.o.B-less promo video for new tune “Where Are You (B.o.B Vs. Bobby Ray)”. The piano-laced jam is somewhat in the Eminem “Stan” vein, as it’s from the perspective of three different people: one an old friend who laments how much the rapper has changed since he became famous; one a longtime fan who also rakes the MC over the coals for not sticking to his roots; and the third is B.o.B himself. Listen below.

We’ve just received the weather forecast for May 1, and it looks to be: strange, with a chance of telekinesis. Stripper-loving rapper B.o.B has unveiled the covert art for his LP Strange Clouds , and there is indeed something unusual about the cloud featured here — for one, it’s indoors, and for another, the “So Good” singer seems to have conjured it up using only his mind. Neat trick! See the full-sized artwork after the jump.

Atlanta rapper B.o.B is already a Southern boy, but he’s about to go country. Bobby Ray has collaborated with none other than Taylor Swift on a new song for his upcoming album, Strange Clouds . So how did this unlikely team-up come to pass?

B.o.B follows up his recent singles “Strange Clouds” and “Play The Guitar” with “So Good”, the Ryan Tedder-produced third offering off upcoming LP Strange Clouds (out May 1). Does the tune live up to its hopeful title? Head below to give it a spin and decide for yourself. Turns out “So Good”, a whimsical track about escaping on a holiday with a lovely lady, is Atlanta MC B.o.B’s most commercial-sounding single since “Airplanes”.

If you tried to visit a number of websites today and were unable to view their content, don’t be alarmed: it’s due to the protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) bills, which were created to stop online piracy and protect copyright owners, but could allow the government to censor practically anything on the Internet. You’d think musicians would be all for protecting their music from piracy, but artists, such as B.o.B, Kreashawyn, OK Go and more, have made it clear that this bill, if passed, will do more harm than good. B.o.B sees this as an issue about freedom. “I’m not usually into politics but…

“Why you all in my face, you ain’t even in my circle, dawg, you ain’t even in my loop,” B.o.B brags in his E.P.I.C. mixtape track “How Bout Dat”, which features Future and Trae Da Truth. You know who is in the “Strange Clouds” hit-maker’s circle? A pack of strippers, that’s who.

Is Obama a huge Maroon 5, Glee , and Black Eyed Peas fan? Maybe, maybe not — but he does want their endorsement on his 2012 re-election. The Commander-in-Chief already has stars like Lady Gaga on his team, but that didn’t stop him from releasing a “wish list” of celebrities he’d like on board as he bids for a second term. Amongst names we might easily expect to find here, such as B.o.B., Jay-Z, and Alicia Keys, there are such diverse acts as Arcade Fire, Lady Antebellum, the Jonas Brothers, Janelle Monae, Ricky Martin, Regina Spektor, and Vampire Weekend.
