Just like Soulja Boy, members CG (Courtlin Edwards) and Lil Action (Nicholas Brown) were Illinois natives heavily influenced by the good-time snap music coming out of Atlanta, Georgia. Lil Action had actually moved to Atlanta for a time and picked up some of the local style. When he returned to Illinois, he teamed with CG under the name the Invisabel Criminalz. The duo had a regional hit, "Harder Than You Thank," before changing their name to Pop It Off Boyz and recording "Crank Dat Batman" in 2005. By 2008, the song had become a YouTube phenomenon with hundreds of homemade "Crank Dat Batman" videos posted to the site. That March, the song peaked at 64 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart. The duo broke up and got back together, but Lil Action died in a 2014 car accident. CG, who went by Mr. CG and eventually Courtlin Jabrae, penned tracks for other artists and continued a solo career. ~ David Jeffries
