Underground Luxury is the third studio album by American rapper B.o.B. The album was released on December 17, 2013, by Grand Hustle Records, Rebel Rock Entertainment and Atlantic Records. The album was produced by B.o.B himself, alongside Rebel Rock founder Jim Jonsin, Arthur McArthur, Big Zar, DJ Mustard, DJ Toomp, FnZ, FKi 1st, Geoffro Cause, Detail, Marz, Mike Will Made It, R. City, and SoFly and Nius. The album also features guest appearances from Grand Hustle founder T.I., alongside Future, Chris Brown, Ester Dean, 2 Chainz, Muni Long (as Priscilla), Playboy Tre, and Three 6 Mafia member Juicy J.
The album was supported by four singles. The first, "We Still in This Bitch" (featuring T.I. and Juicy J), charted at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100. The second single, "HeadBand" (featuring 2 Chainz), became the highest charting single from the project, peaking at number 53. "Ready" (featuring Future) and "John Doe" (featuring Priscilla) were released as the third and fourth singles respectively, with the latter charting at number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Underground Luxury received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised some of its production, but criticized its lyricism and the rapper's decision to move from the alternative hip hop sound of his previous efforts, into a club-dirty south one. The album debuted at number 22 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 35,000 copies in its first week of release and becoming B.o.B's lowest charting entry on the Billboard 200, until the mixtape Psycadelik Thoughtz (2015). The album also charted within the top 10 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts, peaking at number 7 and number 3 respectively. The album was also certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on August 5, 2016.
