Soulja Boy
Born : July 28, 1990
Hometown : Atlanta, Georgia

Born in Chicago, Illinois, DeAndre Way (a.k.a Soulja Boy) later moved to Atlanta, Georgia at the age of six where he devloped a love for rap music alongside his then partner Young Kwon "He was the one who taught me how to make beats and records ; he recorded the first songs I ever did," says DeAndre. "He taught me what he knew about snap beats in the studio in his house."

DeAndre Way’s childhood and growth was hard "I didn’t like growing up, we grew up poor," DeAndre admits. "When I was staying with my Momma, it was me and my little brother. We didn’t have much money. I ain’t have nothing to do, just go to school. I used to be real smart, a straight A student. But music affected my grades, I ain’t gonna lie.”

Ironically while in 8th grade he moved to nearby Mississippi with his father and it prompted his next step in the music career.“That’s where I got access to a computer. When I went to Mississippi, I had to adjust to what was going on. But it was really a blessing in disguise because if I would’ve never moved to Mississippi, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t have had access to no computer, no internet and no camera to film my dancing. I took the hood to where the money was at. If I didn’t have no money behind it, nobody would’ve ever known about it."

Soulja Boy collaborated with classmate Arab to form the duo, The 30/30 Boys. The two started by uploading songs to SoundClick. The duo was getting good ratings so DeAndre created his website, www.souljaboytellem.com. Now having a manager, Michael Sykes (a.k.a Miami Mike), Arab and DeAndre could show their full potential.

Soulja Boy returned to Atlanta in 2004 where he paired up with Atlanta-based manager Derrick Crooms who had been responsible for such successes as the Ying-Yang Twins. DeAndre had his first live preformance at the age of 15, at a teen nightclub in Indianapolis, Indiana. His first album named SouljaBoytellem.com was released through Interscope Records in 2007.

Cablevision has been plundering wholesale jordans shoes consumers for YEARS without competition. In NJ, FIOS is truly giving them a run for their money.

This dude is annoying. I have never seen in my life a bigger effort to be "ghetto". His music is simply put "vastly annoying" and "utterly unoriginal". Only ignorant simpletons listen to such crap. And for the record people learn some grammar. Its one thing to use slang in spoken word quite another to go out of your way to misspell words to sound "ghetto" or "gangster" in a damn blog. Fucking dumbasses get an education and some taste !
