ATL’s own Jermaine Dupri hosted an exclusive watch party Friday night for the Season 2 premiere of his hit reality series, “The Rap Game.”  The music mogul is once again looking for the next teen sensation who can successfully endure his 10 week rapper boot camp. The winning artist will receive a recording contract with So So Def. The seven aspiring young rappers include Jayla Marie, JI Prince, NIA Kay, Mani, Mini Barbie, Tally and Lil’ Key.
