Y'all Know What This Is...The Hits [PA]

Performer: Jermaine Dupri
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: By the time 2007's hits compilation Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THIS IS was released, Jermaine Dupri had already been one of the most revered and in-demand producers on the hip-hop scene for 20 years. From Kris Kross's "Jump" to Jay-Z's "Money Ain't a Thang," Dupri pioneered a sound that was equal parts street-level, speaker-rattling muscle and high-gloss studio wizardry. Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THIS IS...THE HITS brings together the smash singles Durpi masterminded, from straight hip-hop (Ludacris's "Welcome to Atlanta" and Chingy's "Pullin' Me Back") to urban contemporary jams (Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together," Usher's "Confessions Part II"). What these tracks have in common is a pulsing, bass-rich momentum, not to mention an ear-grabbing, hit-making catchiness: these are Dupri's trademarks. In addition to being a killer collection of songs, THE HITS is a testament to Durpi's special mojo as a track master.

A rap/R&B producer to be reckoned with, Atlanta-born Jermaine Dupri was just 18 years old when he discovered pre-pubescent rappers Kriss Kross and turned them into stars, producing their debut album and releasing it in 1991 on his own label, So So Def. Dupri went on to launch the careers of Da Brat, Bow Wow, and Usher, among others, and was instrumental in helping Mariah Carey reclaim her superstar diva status in the early 2000s. Meanwhile, his own self-produced albums--with notable guest stars picked from a formidable roster of clients and friends--charted high, establishing Dupri's tough but romantic recording persona. In the early 2000's, Dupri was linked both professionally and personally with Janet Jackson.
