Swagga Check Tour "He's a genius, man. It's like catching Michael Jackson before he actually hit wax. It's that kind of talent." Strong words, words more likely attributable to an overzealous blogger than one of the game's rising impresarios. But Mr. Collipark, known best for his irrepressible production behind the Ying Yang Twins, uses those very superlatives in describing Atlanta-based phenom Soulja Boy. Skeptical? Consider this: at an age normally reserved for acne remedies and orthodonture, Soulja Boy signed to the inimitable roster at Interscope Records.
When: June 21, 2009, 7:30pm Where: Baton Rouge River Center
