Mama's Boy - Bam Bam's momma thinks he's wonderful, too. “Mr. Wonderful is a name my mother used to call me, and it’s kind of tongue and cheek.

That Boy Good - Mr. Wonderful’s “Baby Blue” deals with heartbreak and features Bam Bam getting his croon on. Speaking of showing the world his hidden talents, Bronson explained, “I was definitely scared and self-conscious about singing, but then I was like, all these other dudes can’t sing for nothing. They stink and I definitely can throw some effects that make me sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan or something. That’s me singing on ‘Baby Blue.’ It’s like Jim Morrison or something with some '70s vibe, and it was a true story.”(Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Coachella)

No New Friends - Bronson doesn’t get too caught up in the industry but there are a few MCs he’s cool with. “Vince Staples hits me constantly and we always talk to each other. Raekwon has always showed love since the beginning and I talk to Rae a lot as well as Prodigy. I keep in contact with a select few because I don’t like to be fake with people because what really do we have to talk about other than rap music?”(Photos from left: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Coachella,  Josh Brasted/Getty Images, Monica Schipper/Getty Images for PS Underground, Paul Hawthorne/Getty Images)

Creating Mr. Wonderful - The Queens MC also revealed that Mr. Wonderful was a cohesive work and not single-driven. "I did less thinking and more feeling from the gut. This feels like a movie and I’m more trying to paint the scene and create a whole spectrum of sound other than just trying to hit people with single songs, so with this album I’d love for people to listen to it the whole way so you can hear the transitions and interludes.... I feel like this album tells you exactly who I am.” (Photo: Atlantic Records, Vice Records)
