Jermaine Dupri served as an executive producer for Hulu’s recently released Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told. The documentary concentrated on the story of Freaknik rising from a picnic for Atlanta University Center students in the 1980s to an iconic citywide event in the 1990s.
“If you took advantage of Freaknik the way I did with So So Def, you also realized that it was companies in this city, music companies that was putting out music,” Jermaine Dupri told AllHipHop.com in March 2024. “So I give Freaknik damn near 60% of the credit for catapulting the Atlanta South music scene.”
