Explaining that he was less conscious about his image when he first started in the hip-hop game, B.o.B says that with his new album he will indeed unveil all of himself. Though at first he was not too concerned about which records he appeared on, the rapper now wants to stray away from the pop genre and return to his hip-hop roots.

Chatting with Hot 97, B.o.B didn't hesitate when it came to speaking on how his past has slightly misconstrued his true musical identity. As he made clear that his intention is to remain a hip-hop artist, the rapper further clarified that he did not make music simply to cross over. With plans to proclaim his true self on his upcoming effort, B.o.B maintains that he's definitely a hip-hop emcee but just a different style than what the culture is used to.
