B.o.B. ‘Strange Clouds’ Tracklist: Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Morgan Freeman Among Guests

Strange Clouds has taken a long time to materialize, but the sophomore effort from B.o.B. is finally drifting toward release. The record drops May 1, and with today's unveiling of the official tracklist, we have a less nebulous notion of what to expect. Guests on the long-awaited set include Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, T.I., Trey Songz and a couple of rather unlikely collaborators: actor Morgan Freeman and country-pop superstar Taylor Swift.

There's also Lil Wayne, who appears on the title cut, an already-popular single that hit last year. The disc's second single, "So Good," emerged in February, with the video -- filmed in location in Argentina -- following in March.

In a recent interview with Popcrush, the MC described the album's "different sound."

"I feel like the sound is a continuum from the last album, just more mature, more refined, more conversational at moments," he said. "You know, I really bring people closer to who I am, and what makes me think, and ... my story, growing up as a kid and just letting people know who I am really. I don't think people really know enough of who I am."
