Read More Personnel: Khari Crooms, Caitlin Gillead, Tori Jones (background vocals). Additional personnel: Arab, I-15. Propelled by the staggering success of his infectious lead single, "Crank That," the 17-year-old Chicago MC known as Soulja Boy presents his debut album on Collipark Music, SOULJABOYTELLEM.COM. Largely self-produced (Mr. Collipark contributes a few beats), Soulja Boy's first full-length effort is stacked with neck-snapping drum-tracks, zooming synthesizers, and call-and-response hooks that follow "Crank That"'s formula for success. From "Snap and Roll" to "Let Me Get Em" to "Donk" to "Booty Meat," it's clear that Soulja's objective is to put out as many dance-craze anthems as the clubs can handle. Yet, the record's most distinctive departure, and perhaps best track, is "Soulja Girl"--an R&B-driven ballad featuring I-15.
