Here is a true MC on the rise. This song has been buzzing hard for months now with remixes and on mixtapes. But now we finally have a video!
Heres an excerpt from XXL mag (november 2007)

While many of his classmates were blowing off schoolwork, getting fitted for their caps and gowns, Bobby Ray Simmons (a.k.a. B.O.B.) was dealing with a whole different level of senioritis. Last fall, the Atlanta native secured a deal with the Atlantic-distributed Rebel Rock label—a full half-year before the teenage MC graduated from high school. With his self-titled debut due this fall, B.O.B. is well ahead of the learning curve.
A multitalented rapper/producer, B.O.B. spent his high-school years recording independently as part of a duo called Klinic. When his partner, Swagg, quit the group the summer before his senior year, B.O.B. recorded “Cloud 9,” a soulfully melodic celebration of inebriation, and arranged to debut the song at T.I.’s Club Crucial the week before classes started. The track so impressed local impresario Thomas “TJ” Chapman that he offered to manage the youngster and helped him garner a deal with producer Jim Jonsin (Jamie Foxx, Trick Daddy) and his Rebel Rock label. Now, B.O.B.’s first few months out of high school are being spent prepping not for college or a day job, but for his full-length debut. Talk about pomp and circumstance.
