iSouljaBoyTellem is the second studio album by American rapper Soulja Boy. It was released on December 16, 2008, by Stacks on Deck Entertainment, Collipark Music and Interscope Records. The album was mostly produced by Soulja Boy himself, along with several record producers such as Drumma Boy, Jim Jonsin and Zaytoven, as well as the guest appearances from Gucci Mane, Shawty Lo and Yo Gotti, among others. The album was supported by three singles: "Bird Walk", "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" featuring Sammie, and "Turn My Swag On".
iSouljaBoyTellem debuted at number 43 on the US Billboard 200, selling 46,000 copies in its first week. The album received mixed to negative reviews, upon the release from music critics, who saw it as recycled material from his previous album.
The album's first original single was intended to be song, called "iDance", which was released online back in 2008. However, the song was dropped from the album for unknown reasons, with the possibility of "Bird Walk" catering more than towards Soulja Boy's original breakout single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)".
"Bird Walk" was released as the album's lead single on October 23, 2008. The song only managed to peak at number 2 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.
