B.o.B, ‘F— Em We Ball’ – Mixtape Review

In celebration of his 24th birthday, B.o.B gave his fans a present: his new mixtape 'F--- 'Em We Ball.' The 18-song collection brings the Atlanta rhyme-spitter back to spitting bars on hard-edged street tracks.

The songs are a slight departure from his feel-good pop tunes he's known for like 'So Good' and 'Both of Us' from his latest album 'Strange Clouds.' For Bobby Ray, this is his return to the original sound that made him hot in the ATL before his commercial success.

"This mixtape for me is like re-calibration for me, I’m like re-calibrating everything. I’m back ... it's like back in the day when I was doing mixtapes man, back to that mode," he tells AllHipHop.com. "I’m getting back to that mode for people that didn't get to see the rawness in that. Not like raw like vulgar, but it's raw -- just like, uncensored and free.”

'F--- 'Em We Ball' features guest appearance from fellow rappers T.I., Juicy J, Snoop Lion, Playboy Tre, Mac Miller and Iggy Azalea. Among the producers crafting beats on the mixtape include Mike Will Made It, Sonny Digital, Jamieson Jones, the Featherstones and B.o.B himself.

If you're looking for braggadocios rhymes and trunk-rattling beats, B.o.B's 'F--- 'Em We Ball' mixtape is right up your alley. So far, the collection has notched over 100,000 downloads and counting. Bobby Ray is ballin' out of control.
