Jermaine Dupri is the genius behind many a successful career and has etched his name in music history. The Hall of Fame Songwriter, producer, recording artist and reality TV star has brought the likes of Xscape, Da Brat, Jagged Edge, Bow Wow and more to fame, and now he's reuniting them all on stage to celebrate So So Def's 25th anniversary. Dupri just announced the Cultural Curren$y Tour, featuring exclusive performances from the very artists whose careers he catapulted to new heights.
Also joining the tour are Anthony Hamilton, Youngbloodz, Bone Crusher, J-Kwon and Dem Franchize Boyz. All these artists plan to do it culture when the tour kicks off October 14th in Washington, D.C. and wraps up November 2nd in Los Angeles. On Instagram, Dupri commented on the tour, stating "Blessing are bigger when you share them. One of my biggest blessings is to be able to go tour with all my artists. I can't wait!!!"
