While it is always a good feeling to hear "cleared into class B" you don't need to hear it if you are on with ATC as they will be watching out for you hopefully.

THAT IS NOT TRUE.

91.131(A)(1) "The operator must recieve an ATC clearance from the ATC facility having jurisdiction for that area before operating an aircraft in that area."

If you don't hear "cleared into class bravo" you cannot enter. As for needing to contact the tower, if you are on with approach/center or whoever else gave you the class B clearance, that will suffice. If you are supposed to talk to somebody else they will hand you off as needed, but please do not enter class B without a clearance.
