In 1992, Jermaine Dupri introduced to the world two 12-year-olds who wore their pants backwards by the name of Kris Kross. In February of that same year, their first song “Jump” was released and immediately soared to No. 1 on the pop charts remaining for eight weeks and in doing so labeled Jermaine as a 19-year-old wonderkind, super producer. Now, 25 years later after the continued success with helping to develop other teen stars (Xscape, Usher, Da Brat, TLC, Bow Wow and more), Jermaine is back on the scene with his So So Def Brand, adding his signature stamp not only to the music of today’s teen culture but television and multimedia as well.

“The Rap Game” debuted Jan. 1, 2015, on Lifetime, and, after three seasons, the series has introduced to the world 15 young stars and crowned two winners – Miss Mulatto (season one) and Mani (season two). The third season of “The Rap Game” is currently airing on Lifetime Fridays at 10pm/9c, with the season three winner set to be announced on April 7, 2017.

Michael Mauldin, CEO of Scream Nation, stated, “As the promoter of Jermaine Dupri Presents: SoSoSUMMER 17 TOUR, we are excited to be on the forefront of such a ground breaking youth and family-oriented movement. This type of tour promotes the next generation of young stars and serves an audience that is often overlooked in the urban and pop music genres, and we are proud to be a part of it.”

By rolling out one of the biggest teen summer celebrations, focusing on the youth, community and the teen culture at large, Jermaine Dupri Presents: SoSoSUMMER 17 will be the summer destination for families, kids, teens and community organizations. Each night, Jermaine will introduce the stars of tomorrow as they set out on their 20-city, summer journey. For more information, visit livenation.com.
