Atlantic City native earns spot on Billboard chart


  • Arts and Entertainment

An Atlantic City native is celebrating after hitting the Billboard charts.

Patrick Jeanty was scrolling through the website Tuesday morning when he saw his name, DJ SoulChild AC, in the No. 3 spot on the charts' Dance/Electronic Digital Songs.

"I literally broke down and cried at the ShopRite in EHT when I realized i was on the charts," said Jeanty, who now lives in Egg Harbor Township.

He was on TikTok live a few months ago when he developed the beat that would become "Rump." Jeane Marie, a TikTok'er from Los Angeles he has known for a few years, then heard it.

She "loved it and wanted to get on the track," Jeanty told BreakingAC.

The two found success in their first collaboration.

There is also a multiple episode documentary available on Amazon that tells his story called, "King Jeanty: Many Faces." 

A Kin Jeanty EP will drop in December. Preorders are available now.
