Soulja Boy recently revealed that he has been working closely with Kanye West, for both artist’s respective albums. He told MTV news that Kanye highly approved of his new material.

“When I was in the studio, I played him a couple of joints, and then he just said, ‘Damn, he’s really starting to go hard,’ ” he told the network. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, you feel me?’ … Out of all the artists to get the go-ahead or the co-sign from, it was Kanye.”

Kanye has been working on Soulja Boy’s forthcoming LP, The DeAndre Way, while Soulja Boy has created three tracks for West’s album.

“Me working with him, collaborating on different beats,” Tell Em tells them. “Him showing me a lot of stuff I didn’t know. Me showing him a lot of stuff he didn’t know. He had an ear for my sound. Of course I had an ear for all the stuff he did. Genius! You know what I mean?”

Boy said he also hopes to get appearances from Eminem and Jay-Z, to murder him on his own shit. In other news, Soulja Boy released his new mixtape and video this past weekend.
