Atlantic Records/Grand Hustle recording artist Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., aka B.o.B, is known for a string of hits, including “Airplanes,” “Strange Clouds,” “So Good,” and “Both of Us.” The emcee shot to stardom after the release of his debut 2010 disc, “B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray.” The single “Nothin’ on You,” a pop/rap collaboration featuring Bruno Mars, hit No. 1 and was nominated for three Grammy Awards, including record of the year. Since then, Simmons, 27, has released three more full-lengths, including 2015’s “Psycadelik Thoughtz.” A departure from his previous efforts, the witty concept album borrows from Jimi Hendrix and George Clinton. All Music Guide dubbed the LP “a druggy, ‘70s rock- and funk-inspired album.” Saturday, the Georgia native headlines an all-ages show at the Loft; openers are Scotty ATL and Shawty Slim.
