After dominating the early 2010s with B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray and Strange Clouds, two platinum albums that received critical acclaim and universal adoration from fans, the Atlanta took a hard left and disappeared from the limelight.
The "Magic" rapper dove into flat-Earth theories and other controversial topics, and he suffered as a result. None of his projects since 2012 have performed even close to as well as his first two studio albums, and after a glaring lack of support for his 2018 album, Naga, the now-32-year-old claimed he was retiring from the rap game.

But with today's release of Murd & Mercy (Deluxe), B.o.B is back.
Adding four bonus tracks to last year's 10-track effort, only available for purchase on shopbobbyray.com, he deluxe version of Murd & Mercy plays as a narrative of a man ready for the end of the world. Spitting over mostly trap beats, B.o.B flexes his lyrical prowess and dives further into a handful of conspiracy theories he has already touched on before. Including a couple 50s-style radio interludes, Murd & Mercy (Deluxe) has an apocalyptic feel and is another step away from the B.o.B we knew a decade ago.
