Just a reminder of how hard work pays off. A few years ago I met B.o.B. grinding on the underground scene trying to make a name for himself…now he’s performing for the President of the United States…at HIS request! Crazy!! Check out this video of B.o.B. at Constitutional Hall Thursday night in D.C. for the Gen44 Rally concert.

If your Twitter timelines didn’t already tell you…the BET Hip-Hop Awards went down last night in ATL, shawty. They won’t be airing until October 12th, but there are some goodies you can catch before then. This is one (of five) BET Cyphers featuring DJ Premier, Vado, Fonzworth Bentley, Rey Chesta along with Nick Javas, Reena Major & Laws. This is a digital exclusive so it won’t be featured when the show airs. However, when it does, there will be cyphers from Kanye West, Common, Pusha T, Big Sean, Raekwon, Wiz Khalifa, Yelawolf, Bones Brigante, Rev Run’s Family, Ice Cube’s Family, Tyga, Kuniva, Royce Da 5′9″ and Diamond.
