Jermaine Dupri‘s SoSo Def label celebrated 20 years of musical influence last weekend which kicked off with a private dinner to honor many of his artists and continued with a Private “VIP Castle Party” held on Friday, February 22, 2013.

The event was well attended with many of Atlanta’s who’s who, who all came out on a rainy Friday night to celebrate alongside Jermaine and his crew in anticipation of the 20th Anniversary Concert, which was to be held the following day.

T-Pain, Bow-Wow, DaBrat, Dondria, Michael Mauldin, Dem Franchize Boyz, DJ Nabs, Shanti Das, DJ Toomp, DJ Mars,  Carl Thomas, Raheem DeVaughn, Jennifer Drake (ASCAP), Designer Mychael Knight, Sharlinda Parker (Big Rich Atlanta), Shawty Lo and many many more all came through to show SoSo Def support.
