Earlier this spring, JD released a collaborative EP with Curren$y, For Motivational Use Only, Vol 1. The seven-track project features 2 Chainz and T.I., who offered an assist on the track, "Never Fall Off." Beyond music news, Dupri is also tapping into television. He's set to produce a new Hulu documentary about Freaknik alongside Uncle Luke. Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told “recounts the rise and fall of a small Atlanta HBCU picnic that exploded into an influential street party and spotlighted ATL as a major cultural stage,” per Hulu’s description.
Additionally, JD is set to tell the story of Atlanta's famed strip club, Magic City. The Atlanta entertainment mogul teamed with Cole Brown, Atlanta Hawks co-owner Jami Gertz, and Drake’s DreamCrew Entertainment to present the forthcoming three-part Magic City: An American Fantasy documentary series directed by Charles Todd.
“Magic City is a second home for me. It’s the one place where celebrities, hustlers, politicians, and Atlanta locals all come together. I’ve watched it evolve over the years from a local joint to an internationally recognized spot. It’s about time we tell this story the right way,” says Dupri, who will serve as executive producer on the series.
As for the festival, which will celebrate 30 years of So So Def, it's set to take place on Oct. at Central Park in Atlanta on October 7-8. Grab tickets here.
