"I started out DJ'ing and throwing parties in Harlem," Webstar said. "And I met Young B through my parties. She came home one day just messing around and singing, 'Chicken noodle soup,' and it sounded good. So we recorded it, and somehow it leaked out. So I just started playing it at my parties, and the kids made up the dance."

The "Chicken Noodle Soup" dance has made a huge impact on Youtube and Myspace, Billboard.com said.

Webstar's "Webstar Presents ... Caught in the Web," an album pulled together in just a few weeks, is set to debut Tuesday, the report said.

Young B's solo project will debut during the first quarter of 2007.
