Jermaine Dupri stopped by HOT 97 to talk with Nessa about his new album Magic City, dropping this Friday, September 12. He reflected on being named Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip Hop Producer of the 21st Century and whether he expected to land at the top of that list. They discussed some of the biggest moments in his career, including working with Mariah Carey, Usher, Xscape, Bow Wow, and Da Brat, and what he credits his longevity to.
The conversation also touched on his new album and working with Rich Homie Quan. Nessa asked him about his time at Magic City, the impact the club had on Atlanta’s music culture, the most he’s seen spent in a night and some tips on how to throw money at the strip club. They got into personal stories about his friendships with Da Brat, Mariah Carey, and Janet Jackson, and why marriage may or may not be in his future. He talked about what he learned from Quincy Jones and Ray Charles. He also shared his thoughts on the mistakes artists make today, what advice he’d give to them, and if Confessions was a true story from Usher’s life.
