    Dupri, the founder & CEO of SoSo Def, was joined by Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed as he held a?press conference to reveal what is being billed as a huge historic event in Atlanta’s musical history.

    The So So Def label was once home to platinum-selling acts such as Jermaine Dupri, Xscape, Bow Wow, Jagged Edge and Da Brat, and Dupri announced during the conference that they will celebrate 20 years of hit-making music by hosting at an All-Star Anniversary Concert on February 23rd!

    Flanked by Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Jagged Edge, Da Brat, Kris Kross, Dem Franchize Boyz, Bonecrusher, Xscape, Dondria and his veteran music executive/father Michael Mauldin, Dupri announced that the reunion concert will be a ?rare moment in music? when various past and present So So Def artists and music contributors will come together on one stage for one night only.

    JD talks on the same phone Mayor Reed uses to call Pres. Obama rszd

    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.

    We also acknowledge 1992 as the year when So So Def Productions introduced to the world Kris Kross, who had everyone JUMPING,? said Dupri.

    Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed also cosigned Dupri’s enthusiasm by acknowledging the rich musical history of our great city…

    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. I am pleased that So So Def has called our great city home for 20 years, and I wish the company continued success for many more years to come.

    LaTocha and Tameka Scott StraightFromTheA

    Latocha Scott & Tameka Scott (Xscape)…

    In case you were wondering, Kandi has publicly said on more than one occasion that she’ll ‘NEVER’ do an Xscape reunion… not sure about Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle-Harris, but I’ll just go ahead and assume that since her husband T.I. said that cryptic speech in front of JD a few months back, that she won’t be participating either.

    Dondria StraightFromTheA

    Dondria will probably be filling both of their roles during any Xscape performances.

        PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to t PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to the words that came out of Colorist Claudia’s own mouth. Again… can someone please point out where I’ve ever LIED on this woman??? When have I ever played the victim?? And how on earth did her being a colorist get to be about Nene Leakes?? Colorist Claudia is delusional and for those who are wondering, she left this lengthy voice message via DM to one of my subscribers (a complete stranger to both of us) who innocently asked her why she won’t take accountability for her words. I’m done beating this dead horse but after over 15 years blogging, one thing I have NEVER done is lie. When you find one, let me know. Until then, I’m always gonna call it how I see it whether you like it or not!!! #straightfromthea #atlien #atlienlive #claudiajordan #foxsoul #rhoa #bravotv #teagif #colorism #blackhistorymonth #truthhurts
        PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jord PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jordan has continuously said colorist hateful things?? Her words have all been caught on tape but she has always placed the blame on someone else. First it’s her “boyfriend” who leaked a tape of her saying racist, colorist things and then it’s me, a blogger who GOOGLED the colorist hateful things that she’s said. When does she take accountability? I’m confused. Instead of playing the victim Caren Colorist Claudia, perhaps you should address the colorist racist things that you say and continue to say online. Don’t worry, just like you have a platform, so do I. And I will keep my foot on your neck for as long as you continue to accuse me of lying on you. WHERE IS THE LIE???? #straightfromthea #atlienlive #foxsoul #claudiajordan #colorism #teagif #rhoa #bravotv #blackhistorymonth (let me know if y’all want me to post part 2 if this clip)
