With the success of his pop hits like “Nothing On You” and “Airplanes,” Prez O asked Bobby to perform for several events, but don’t expect him to continue riding the pop route. He told the am team that he's taking it back to the start. “I'm getting back to my basics for those people who didn’t know me before 'Nothing On You' or 'Airplanes.'” He also explained how each career step is a new phase in his journey. “First song I ever release was Cloud 9, which was like a smokers anthem. Then I had an alternative phase where I wanted to do rock music and now I just feel like rapping, every now and then I’ll sing a melody.”

B.o.B’s sophomore album Strange Clouds is expected to be released March 2012.
