“It’s reflective of the growth, and how my perspective has changed,” B.o.B told Billboard.com of “Strange Clouds” last month. “As the hip-hop community is becoming more influential to the world, I feel like we shed light on topics that are necessary to be addressed in order to progress socially. And ‘Strange Clouds’ is like a hybrid — the sci-fi with the organic… It’s all about art, it’s all about music, and I feel like this album is going to be a classic.”
