Alpha Magazine sat with hall of fame songwriter, Jermaine Dupri, and his team in Atlanta, Georgia for an exclusive interview.


Joining the Alpha Team was the esteemed mens' wear designer, Phillip Grandison of New York, who styled Mr. Dupri on set with his custom-taylor suits.


The illustrious career of Mr. Dupri has spanned 4+ decades, from his discovery of thr group, Criss Cross, to his latest ventures in filmmaking and artistic development for the youth in the city.

The majority of artists, they don't really have that, "I gotta get up and go" type of mentality.

Mr. Dupri, interviewed by independent filmmaker and entertainment entrepreneur, Jacinth Headlam. Our conversation had plenty of insight and wisdom shared.
