Legendz · 01-06-2009, 08:13 AM

On heels of releasing his sophomore album iSouljaBoyTellem, platinum recording artist Soulja Boy will launch an animated web series via his latest video for the song Soulja Boy Tell'em today (January 6). The video and the series, which will follow in late January, will combine live action and animation.

After initially being discovered and making a name for himself through his YouTube video for the song Crank That (Soulja Boy), which was #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 for seven weeks, it was only a matter of time until the artist decided to return to the internet with something groundbreaking.

"I always wanted to do a cartoon since I was younger," states Soulja Boy. "I am excited because I think that the subject matter will give my fans what they would expect from me."

The show titled Soulja Boy Tell'em: The Animated Series follows an animated Soulja Boy who is in midst of enjoying his hip-hop superstardom when he's suddenly forced to return to High School. Of course, Soulja Boy with the help of his animated friends is continually doing whatever he can to get out of his daily school routine. The school's principal, played by a live action Alfonso Ribiero (Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air) is always hot on Soulja Boy's heels to keep him in line.

Rather than bringing this series to a traditional network, Soulja Boy partnered with his label Interscope Records and will premiere the series via his website .

"Soulja Boy is one of the most charismatic artists of his generation," said Brian Washington, Marketing Director for Interscope Records. "His ability to speak to his fans and, just as importantly, the way in which he does so, make him such an innovator in how music and entertainment is consumed and discovered today."
