Jermaine Dupri joins Lip Service for an unforgettable deep dive into the legendary strip club Magic City and the culture surrounding it. From producing the STARZ docuseries Magic City: An American Fantasy to curating a soundtrack inspired by Atlanta's iconic nightlife, JD reveals the untold stories, struggles, and legacy of the club that shaped the music and dance scene.

The crew gets into:


How the Magic City docuseries came to life (with Drake also attached!)


Why male rappers stopped making songs with tempo—and why that’s changing


The real business behind strip clubs and how dancers shape the culture


Jamie's amateur night story that led to her being hired on the spot


The birth of the iconic “Snack Pack” crew and Magic City’s pole-dancing legacy


Whether JD could ever be in a real relationship with a dancer


Why authenticity in music (especially for female rappers like Cardi B) matters


The misunderstood lives of strippers and the truth behind their success stories

This episode isn’t just about nightlife—it’s about entrepreneurship, empowerment, and reclaiming the narrative around black strip club culture.
