Six-time Grammy nominated rapper BoB is getting back to his heavier roots.

Ready for you to download today, the title of new mixtape Fuck Em We Ball says it all but the man born Bobby Ray Simmons further explains:

"The sound of this mixtape – I’m really getting back to my beginning. A lot of people who caught me on the mainstream end of things, or first discovered me on my first album B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, they didn’t really get to see how raw I was, they overlooked the fact that I’m from the east side of Decatur, Georgia."

It features contributions from the likes of Snoop Lion, Juicy J and TI. Get it here now, just in time to mark the man's 24th birthday.

Hope he has as enjoyable a time over his birthday weekend as his fans did at his Olympia show in September. We suspect that he will.
