Mistajam | 21:00 UK time, Monday, 26 January 2009

Every week I pick one record that isn't just hot, it's Jam Hot and it becomes my record of the week. This week, the honours go to B.o.B's "I'll Be In The Sky"

So who is B.o.B?

- 20 year old Bobby Ray Simmons aka B.o.B is from Decatur in Atlanta - same place as Outkast
- He got into Hip Hop when he was introduced to DMX's It's Dark And Hell Is Hot album in the 3rd Grade at school
- He produces, writes, raps, arranges and mixes his own music and my 1Xtra listeners described him as a cross between Gnarls Barkley and Outkast
- T.I. has signed him to his label Grand Hustle and featured him on the album Paper Trail
- "The Adventures of B.o.B", his debut album is due out later in the year
He's been tipped as one to watch by many HipHop tastemakers including 1Xtra's own DJ Semtex
- For more on B.o.B you can check out his


What do you think? Jam Hot or Jam What are you doing?
