Soulja Boy Tell'em
Artist Overview
Even more impressive than the phenomenal success of Soulja Boy Tell `Em's single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)," which spent seven non-consecutive weeks on the charts at #1, is the grass roots story behind the artist's emergence. Born in Chicago (as DeAndre Ramone Way) and raised in Atlanta and Mississippi, Soulja Boy garnered a sizable following by publishing his home-studio demos on YouTube and MySpace. An independently released album (STILL UNSIGNED AND MAJOR) and a homemade video for "Crank That" led to a deal with Interscope, who released Soulja's second full-length, SOULJABOYTELLEM.COM, in 2007. Soulja Boy's music is steeped in the Dirty South style, drawing heavily from crunk and hook-heavy, Southern party rap.
