The music industry is a fickle one, with talent here today and gone tomorrow. But, one man has stood the test of time and has continued his dominance: Jermaine Dupri.

The legendary producer and songwriter will be at the center of Power, Influence & Hip Hop: The Remarkable Rise of So So Def, a one-hour documentary uncovering the unique history of the storied record label. Jermaine will chronicle the early days of So So Def, how the label came to shape Atlanta's music scene, and his rise to becoming a music mogul.

The special will also feature never-before-seen archival footage and original interviews with Jermaine's contemporaries including Mariah Carey, Usher, Snoop Dogg, will.i.am, Da Brat, Bow Wow, and Nelly.

Power, Influence & Hip Hop: The Remarkable Rise of So So Def premieres Thursday, July 18 at 10|9c, following an all-new episode of Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta. Get a sneak peek below!
