DeAndre Cortez Way (born July 28, 1990), known as Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, or simply Soulja Boy, is an American rapper, record producer, actor, and entrepreneur. He is mostly known for his debut single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" (2007), that peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100[1].
"Crank That (Soulja Boy)" (or simply "Crank That") is a very barebones song, with the only melodic instrument being a steel drum. This makes it really easy to mash up with other songs, and in fact it is fairly easy to completely recreate the song in FL Studio, as it only used default presets from that DAW. Because of this, mashups involving "Crank That" will usually have steel drums playing the melody of whatever it's a mashup with. On SiIvaGunner's channel the song is a commonly used recurring joke, though due to how easy it is to use, it usually appears in medley rips.
The sample of Soulja Boy's voice saying "YOUUUUU!" is also often used.
In Episode 9, Soulja Boy is shown fighting against the Kazoo Master with a sword, and telling anime quotes. This references the video "Soulja Boy Tell 'Em | Tokyo Trip Pt.2 | ソウルジャ・ボーイ"[2] and Soulja Boy's anime tweets.[3]
