About Soulja Boy Tell Em
Before he reached the age of 18, Soulja Boy Tell Em was already an ambitious artist and a seasoned businessman, wielding all the hitmaking requirements: producer, live entertainer, and an ability to write catchy hooks. The MC's ascent was largely due to the Internet -- his MySpace page broke the site's records and generated millions of views. He was eventually discovered by Atlanta producer Mr. Collipark (Ying Yang Twins, Bubba Sparxxx, Young Jeezy), who helped launch Soulja Boy Tell Em from a local sensation to a national mover and shaker. Soulja Boy Tell Em gradually rose to number one on the pop charts with his snap-dance hit single "Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)" in 2007. ~ Cyril Cordor
