Years after "Crank That," Soulja Boy Tell 'Em keeps showing off his superpowers. Initially dismissed by some as a gimmicky, one-hit wonder, the Atlanta rapper, who's 20 years young today, has defied the skeptics and kept the hits coming, making or appearing on anthems such as "Yahh," "Turn My Swag On" and Roscoe Dash's "All The Way Turnt Up."
The secret to Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's success? It's the way he subtlety evolves while retaining the core qualities (charisma + swagger) that make him such a likable figure in the first place. Case in point: these exclusive MTV photos and the new song "First Day Of School."
The MTV photos show Soulja Boy growing comfortably into young manhood while still having a lot of fun. And wearing RIDICULOUSLY over-the-top accessories. Meanwhile, "First Day Of School" a deliriously pretty, piano-driven track about dressing fresh, shows his evolution as a songwriter.
Check out new Soulja Boy Tell 'Em pics and listen to "First Day Of School." You know what time it is.
