BACKLegendary Producer Is Also Star Of WE tvs Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta NEW YORK, NY, November 21, 2018 WE tv today announced a new project about the legendary career of hip hop mogul Jermaine Dupri and his indelible influence on hip hop over the last 25 years. Dupri, who helped put Atlanta and its unique sound on the map, has worked with countless artists and cultivated performers as diverse as Kris Kross, Jagged Edge, and Bow Wow. In addition to being one of the biggest names in music, Dupri also stars on the WE tv docuseries "Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta."

The special will feature never-before-seen archival footage, present day verite, and exclusive interviews that will trace how a regular kid who opened for Run DMC, went on to become a teenage millionaire, and then the creative force in hip hop we know today. It will also show the fierce competition and power struggles that Dupri faced along the way and how he rose above it all to become the soundtrack of a generation.

The documentary is currently being developed at WE tv with Entertainment One (eOne), who produce "Growing Up Hip Hop" and "Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta" for the network.
