W.A.T.E.R. (We Are The Enemy Really)

B.o.B

Gritty, paranoid, and stripped-back hip-hop. A sharp departure from stadium pop into the murky world of conspiracy-laden underground rap.

It's B.o.B if he traded the radio hooks for a tinfoil hat and a basement studio.

A tense and paranoid exploration of societal control delivered through skeletal, gritty production.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition into the eight-minute finale of Cut Throat where the beat dissolves into a drone.
The way the percussion on Blank Mafia feels intentionally slightly off-kilter to mirror the lyrical paranoia.
The sudden shift from melodic delivery to a frantic, breathless flow during the climax of The Crazies.
