LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the success of 2007's phenomenon-setting Souljaboytellem.com, super-rapper Soulja Boy Tellem is set to take his game to the next level with the retail release today of his second effort, iSouljaBoyTellem (Collipark/Interscope). To say "highly anticipated" is to scratch the surface of Soulja Boy Tellem's short but sweet journey to superstardom. Souljaboytellem.com crashed the Platinum level with over 1,000,000 units sold. But the trend-setting Grammy nominated single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" launched 450,000,000 combined YouTube and MySpace views, 5,000,000 ringtone sales, an instructional video on its dance craze, as well as too-many-to-mention animated cartoon tributes that included The Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants, The Chipmunks and scores more. In short, the world was taken by storm by the Batesville, Mississippi native.

iSouljaBoyTellem, co-produced by Soulja Boy Tellem with Collipark Music's Michael "Mr. Collipark" Crooms (Young Jeezy, Yin Yang Twins, Pitbull), Polow Da Don (Ludacris, Fergie, Jamie Foxx, Ciara) and Drumma Boy (T.I., Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne) already has one confirmed single hit, "Birdwalk," which landed on Billboard's "Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop" chart and "Hot Rap Tracks" and garnered serious attention from BET's "106 & Park," MTV's "TRL" and VH1. The second planned release is "Kiss Me Thru The Phone," featuring Sammie. But listener demand for the street-oriented "Gucci Bandana" saw the track reach #22 on Billboard's "Hot Rap Track" before its release. And "Yamaha Mama," with Sean Kingston, reveals that iSouljaBoyTellem has more to offer well into 2009.

Since the triumphant public embrace of Souljaboytellem.com, Soulja Boy Tellem launched his own line of "Block Star" sneakers through Yums Shoes, with a clothing line designed by Soulja Boy Tellem and Yums Shoes designer Tex. Entering 2009, in collaboration with M-Wise Inc., Soulja Boy Tellem is offering a subscription service, Soulja Boy Tellem Mobile Fan Club, which allows him to directly deliver content to his legion of followers for a discounted price of $4.99 a month. In addition, mobile fans will receive 10 credits toward the purchase of master tones, wallpapers and video ringers. Also, subscribers will receive text alerts directly from Soulja Boy Tellem that will allow them to participate in contests, get special offers and exclusive content. And, for a limited time during the holidays, subscribers can use their credits for gifting mobile content to friends and family.

And there's more to the Soulja Boy Tellem on-going legend: In January, fans will be able to see "Souljaboy Tellem, The Animated Series" exclusively on http://www.souljaboytellem.com/. And Soulja Boy Tellem will present the third installment of "Soulja Boy Tellem TV." Now, that's the way to ring out the old year in style, while ringing in the New Year with a loud bang!
