DVSN alluded to their possible involvement in the festival, writing, "Who's on the line-up?" in the comments. JD celebrated 25 years of So So Def in 2018 with a tour that featured performances from Xscape, Da Brat, Jagged Edge, Bow Wow,Anthony Hamilton, Bone Crusher, Youngbloodz, Dem Franchize Boyz, and J-Kwon.
Earlier this month, JD released a collaborative EP with Curren$y, For Motivational Use Only, Vol 1. The seven-track project features 2 Chainz and T.I., who offered an assist on the track, "Never Fall Off."
Beyond music news, Dupri is also tapping into television. He's set to produce a new Hulu documentary about Freaknik alongside Uncle Luke. Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told “recounts the rise and fall of a small Atlanta HBCU picnic that exploded into an influential street party and spotlighted ATL as a major cultural stage,” per Hulu’s description.
"I was 16 the year I became aware of Freaknik," JD told Atlanta magazine in 2015. "I drove into the traffic not knowing what it was. I was driving to a specific nightclub; I think it was Club XS in Decatur. It was like eight or nine in the evening. This was like one of the first years when it got bigger. They were in the parking lot. I was just like, 'Why is it so many people over here?'"
