The South is still rising. B.o.B and Scotty ATL join forces for the first time in full-length by dropping Live & Direct, their premiere joint mixtape today (Mar. 2).

The 14-track project finds Bobby Ray and ATL trading bars with features from London Jae, Kissi Lee, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., DJ Burn One and Project Pat. B.o.B claims production credits on four of the tape's songs.

The last time fans heard these two together was on Scotty's 2015 banger "Bust It Open," which they dropped the video for in November. B.o.B is hopefully using this new tape to bounce back after receiving bad press over his "flat Earth" comments earlier this year. For those who don't remember, the Decatur, GA rapper and Grand Hustle signee let off his unhinged opinion about the world being flat in a series of tweets in January to which he received ridicule and a scientific smackdown from famed astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson.

Science-rap beef aside, ATL and B.o.B seem to be working better than ever together and aim to share the good news with the fans. Stream Live & Direct below via DatPiff.
