Dance Central

Dance Central was a pop group that formed in New York City around 2006. The core members included Soulja Boy Tell'em and Lee Jordan, with Deion 'Boogie Black' Barnes, Young Joc, and K-Major joining later. Their sound was built around danceable hip-hop rhythms, evident in tracks like 'Crank That' and 'Just Dance' from their catalog.

In 2007, they released 'Crank That (Soulja Boy),' which became a major hit. The song's simple beat and associated dance moves caught on widely, helping it reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This success led to other songs like 'Kiss Me Thru the Phone' and 'Pretty Boy Swag,' though the group's output was relatively brief.

Soulja Boy Tell'em, as the frontman, faced some legal issues during this period, which drew attention alongside the music. The group's activity tapered off after a few years, with members pursuing solo projects. Songs like 'Don't Sweat The Technique' and 'Poison' in their setlists show their roots in hip-hop and dance music, but 'Crank That' remains their most remembered track.
