Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.B.O.B, aka Bobby Ray Simmons, is the latest breakout star from the prolific Atlanta hip-hop scene, so it's unsurprising that this excellent debut shares similarities of inflection and melodic appeal with OutKast, Cee-Lo Green and Dungeon family.
Like Andre 3000, Simmons sings, raps and plays most of the instruments on the album; and he shares Andre's fancy for a concept, with tracks such as "Don't Let Me Fall" and "I'll Be In The Sky" developing a theme about the schizoid confusion between the real Bobby Ray and the fantasy superstar. Small wonder, then, that Eminem should be among the guest collaborators, which includes Lupe Fiasco, Paramore and most surprisingly, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo on the catchy "Magic".
