“What really made me write this book is I really just sat down and looked at what I did. I made my first million dollars when I was 16 years old…I just wanna tell all the people how I did it.”

Soulja Boy Tell Em is continuing to prepare for the release of his upcoming book.

The 19-year-old teen sensation and face of Universal Motown imprint SODMG, will release his first book this summer.

As previously reported the book titled Teenage Millionaire will chronicle his life as DeAndre Way leading up to the secrets of his success as Soulja Boy Tell Em.

Speaking in an interview with Billboard, Soulja Boy says his book will be released July 28, the same day as his new album Dre.

“My book is entitled Teenage Millionaire, it drops July 28 2010, the same day my album drops. What really made me write this book is I really just sat down and looked at what I did. I made my first million dollars when I was 16 years old. I came from a place where a lot of people don’t make it out to see the type of things I’ve seen around the world and see the amount of money that I’ve obtained…I just wanna tell all the people how I did it.”

The book will also feature chapters breaking down Tell Em’s keys to success. One such chapter is “Speaking It Into Existence”, focusing on the power of having good faith.

“One of the chapters of my book is called “Speaking It into Existence.” It’s something I’ve been doing my whole career. When you think or speak from the nonconscious it happens. When you weed out all the negative thoughts and focus on nothing but what you wanna have it’s so easy to obtain it…”

He also adds that he wants to make the book available as a digital download for the IPad.
