"Backstage, the "Bape" rapper spoke with VIBE about teaming up with fellow viral sensation, Druski, the hold he still has on Hip-Hop, and his newest surprise album. "That's my boy," he said with a grin about the social media comedian. "I've been rocking with Druski... he's funny as hell. When he reached out, at first, it was just one show... we rocked out in Atlanta, and it was so crazy, we knew we had to run the whole tour.""
"And if there's one thing Soulja knows how to do, it's keep his fans on their toes. Earlier this month, the rapper and entrepreneur dropped his second album of the year, Swag 7, with no warning - a move inspired by Beyoncé's surprise release tactic. "They always want you to wait... go to Spotify first, pitch it to people, drop on a Friday. I'm like, f**k that. I'm me. I'm Soulja Boy. Let's just drop this bi**h right now," he explained."
Soulja Boy lit up Barclays Center at Druski's Coulda Been Fest, delivering fan-favorite hits that provoked arena-wide nostalgia and choreographed sing-alongs. He teamed with viral comedian Druski after an explosive Atlanta show, expanding that single event into a full tour. Earlier in the month, Soulja released Swag 7 without prior notice, citing surprise-drop inspiration from Beyoncé. The 16-track project experiments with West Coast bass and higher-energy beats while maintaining the core elements that defined his legacy. Soulja continues to emphasize personal style and evolving "swag" after nearly two decades in the industry.
