Biography
Soulja Boy—born DeAndre Cortez Way on July 28, 1990—became a defining voice of 2000s rap through viral momentum and digital savvy. His 2007 self-released single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" became a phenomenon, peaking atop the US Billboard Hot 100 for seven non-consecutive weeks before Interscope Records picked him up for commercial re-release. The track preceded his debut studio album Souljaboytellem.com, which reached number four on the Billboard 200 despite mixed critical reviews, and was followed by the single "Yahhh!". His second album iSouljaBoyTellem (2008) featured the Billboard Hot 100 top 20 hits "Turn My Swag On" and "Kiss Me thru the Phone" (featuring Sammie), though critical and commercial momentum began to fade. The DeAndre Way (2010) saw steeper decline, prompting his split from Interscope to pursue independence.
Way is credited as a pioneer of grassroots social media and digital marketing strategies in mainstream hip-hop, laying groundwork other artists would follow. Beyond recording, he built a portfolio of side ventures: video game development, production for other artists, and his record label Stacks on Deck Entertainment, which signed rappers including Lil B and Riff Raff. He earned US$7 million in 2010 alone, landing at number 18 on Forbes' Hip-Hop Cash Kings list that year. His accolades include a Grammy Award nomination, three BET Award nominations, and four Teen Choice Award nominations. As a Leo born in summer 1990, Way embodies the sign's drive for recognition and constant reinvention. Rappers typically balance studio work, live performance, and public presence—Way expanded this to encompass entrepreneurship and tech ventures.
