How did Soulja Boy make his money & wealth?
Soulja Boy was born DeAndre Cortez Way in July of 1990. His family moved to Atlanta when he was six years old, where he was exposed to rap music and hip-hop culture. He became interested in rap, and by the time he was 14, he and his father had moved to Mississippi, where Way would be able to develop his musical talents. In March of 2007, “Soulja Boy” saw his life change forever with the release of the song “Crank That”, which released with his independent debut album, Unsigned & Still Major. Little did Soulja Boy know that that single song would cause his music career to absolutely explode.
By that September, Crank That topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts. His next album, Souljaboytellem.com, flew off of the shelves. Plus, his music wasn’t just popular — it was critically acclaimed, to a certain extent. Crank That was nominated for Best Rap Song for the Grammy Awards that year. Although Soulja Boy didn’t ever really see that same level of success and fame again, he was determined to prove that he wasn’t just a flash in the pan. He released several singles over the course of the next few years, like “Kiss Me Thru the Phone”, “Pretty Boy Swag”, and “Turn My Swag On”. Each single became very popular, and the young artist had practically become a cultural icon.
More recently, Soulja Boy has released the album Better Late Than Never just a couple of weeks ago. Although he may have been high “one hit wonder” risk with Crank That, I think it’s safe to say that Soulja Boy has proven that he is a serious rapper. DeAndre Way was a certified platinum artist by the time he was 17 years old, and he is still able to enjoy a certain degree of fame and fortune. Whether you like the song Crank That or not, you can’t help but respect his perserverance and longevity as an artist.
