Audio: B.o.B – Where Are You (B.o.B vs Bobby Ray)
B.o.B tries to find himself in his latest single, “Where Are You (B.o.B vs Bobby Ray),” off his upcoming sophomore album Strange Clouds. Bobby Ray raps from the point of view of his early fans and responds to them, saying he does it all for them. The vulnerability of the track along with the piano playing makes it a sweet reflective track.
Cop the single on iTunes and remember, Strange Clouds drops May 1st.
You can see the album artwork for Strange Clouds and a preview of his upcoming music video for “So Good” after the jump.

Video: Kendrick Lamar Debuts New Track At SXSW
We do know we haven’t heard this track before. What we don’t know is the who, what, when, where, why. Believed to be from a previous studio session with The Neptunes, Kendrick Lamar and Buddy premiered this new track titled “Staircases” at SXSW. Since he performed it, I’m assuming it won’t be long for until a mp3 surfaces. In the meantime, check out this footage.
