Jermaine Dupri, affectionately known as JD, discovered a young Kris Kross at an Atlanta mall in 1991, which simultaneously launched his own career. He dominated the 90’s at just 19 years old, but he had been performing since the age of 12 as a background dancer for the group Whodini. Fast forward to decades later, JD is still at the pulse of R&B and hip hop music lending his ear to young artists such as Ari Lennox, Lehla Sami and DVSN.
The all-around talent has his own hit records like Atlanta’s theme song, “Welcome to Atlanta.” He has also blessed many careers over the years, adding to the success of some of your favorite artists. It is his hustle and innate musical gifts that keep Dupri at the head of the game. He continues to evolve as music changes, and he’s always a few steps ahead of the beat.
Lately, he’s focused his energy on bringing the Best of R&B to Atlanta’s Wofl Creek Amphitheater with the So So R&B Experience happening on Oct. 12. The lineup boasts performances by Muni Long, DVSN, Eric Bellinger, JD himself and more surprise guests.
Today, we give JD his flowers for being an undeniable talent in this business for over 40 years. Here are some of the hits you may not have known Jermaine Dupri produced as we celebrate the entertainer’s 52nd birthday.
