I am not THAT big of a fan of his song, but peep this statement that was recently released. He is set to go on tour with A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, and Mos Def…. how cool is that! Pretty good for a newcomer.

The ATL-based rapper will celebrate the EP’s release by spending his summer lighting it up on the annual Rock The Bells tour. The 10-city traveling festival extravaganza – headlined by such hip-hop superstars as A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, and Mos Def – will kick off on Saturday, July 19th at Chicago’s First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre, with dates continuing through early September (see attached itinerary).

“Mellow Fellow” will be MySpace’s “Single of the Week,” beginning on July 15th. B.o.B already has a major presence online, having logged close to 5 million total plays at his official MySpace page, www.myspace.com/bobatl. In addition, his recently launched You Tube channel – located at www.youtube.com/bobatl — is offering fans exclusive webisodes, music videos and in-studio performances.

B.o.B is currently blowing up on MTV with his recent single/video, “Haterz Everywhere.” The clip has just made a top 10 debut on the network’s Sucker Free Countdown, and was recently been named MTV’s “Jam of the Week.” Furthermore, the video has scored major play on MTV2 and mtvU and remains in “Blazin’” rotation at MTV Jams, where B.o.B is among the artists featured in the network’s “Fab 5 of Summer 2008” programming.

An accomplished musician, B.o.B contributes his own guitar work to “12TH DIMENSION,” while also producing three of the EP’s four tracks, including “Mellow Fellow.” A wide range of media attention has greeted this talented new artist’s arrival on the hip-hop scene, with features and reviews appearing in such national publications and online outlets as The Source, Complex, Spin, URB, XXL, Fader, Rolling Stone, and Murderdog. Vibe recently hailed the 19-year-old rapper’s leading role in the emerging ATL sound, noting that “a musical renaissance has begun to take shape, and locals like B.o.B are putting a new movement in motion.”
