Just off Briarwood Court on the north side of Atlanta, So So Def Studios hides away at the end of the street. 

The studio is a pale green building with pops of blue graffiti, but inside, the walls are adorned with framed music records and plaques like a living art museum. 

Here, students attending Emory University are getting the opportunity to gain hands-on music industry experience through a pilot program led by Grammy award-winning producer Jermaine Dupri.
