So So Def announces anniversary concert
The home to Jermaine Dupri, Xscape, Bow Wow, Jagged Edge and Da Brat will celebrate 20 years of hit-making music this year at an All-Star anniversary concert. So So Def Recording descended on Atlanta’s City club to announce their ‘All-Star Anniversary Concert’ taking place February 23 at the Fox Theater.
Flanked by Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Jagged Edge, Da Brat, Kriss Kross, Dem Franchize Boyz, Bonecrusher, Xscape, Dondria and Michael Mauldin, Dupri explained that the reunion concert will be a “rare moment in music” for one night only.
“Not only is it an honor to be able to stand here 20 years after our very first release in 1993, Xscape’s #1 single ‘Just Kickin It,’ but it’s truly an achievement that we can bring everyone back together to celebrate over two decades of music excellence,” said Dupri. “We also acknowledge 1992 as the year when So So Def Productions introduced to the world Kris Kross, who had everyone jumping,” said Dupri.
On hand to welcome the collective was Mayor Kasim Reed who sang So So Def’s praises. “Atlanta has a thriving music industry, and So So Def Recordings has been an important part of that legacy for the past two decades. This milestone is another example of why Atlanta is the entertainment capital of the Southeast.”
