J Prince knows the music industry like nobody else in the business, and his talents aren’t restricted to music. As founder of Houston’s Rap-A-Lot Records, Prince has helped put out some of the biggest names in hip hop, including Geto Boys, Willie D, and Scarface. His status in the industry doesn’t stop there; Prince is also the man behind Sound of Music Group and has worked with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Ludacris to Lil Wayne through partnerships with YMG Entertainment and Fire Scott Records.
What it takes to be successful
Success in this industry is not just a gift. It requires hard work, determination, and perseverance. As you embark on the journey of being successful in this business, be ready to encounter people who will throw dirt in your face or step on your shoes. The words can't and no should not be in your vocabulary when striving for success because they are only words someone else created to halt your progress.
Listening to music
In this interview with HipHopDX, rapper and CEO of Rap-A-Lot Records, J. Prince shares his thoughts on the current state of rap music. Rap music has lost its soul, says J. It's all millionaires doing millionaire stuff.
Listening to rap music while they read helps them understand what the lyrics are talking about in a different way.
How music changed his life
Growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, J. Prince first took an interest in music after listening to his favorite radio station, WHBQ 107.7 FM. The DJs played the latest country, blues and rock songs on the airwaves and helped expose him to the world of popular music.
He started with a dream and vision
A vision and a dream. If I ever reach the level of success I'm striving for, I want to come back to Detroit with all the resources that I need to do something major. That was how J Prince began his entrepreneurial journey at age 20, long before he established himself as one of music's most accomplished record executives. He was born and raised in Detroit, where he attended Eastern Michigan University while playing basketball.
What he does best
Music was his life from the time he was very young. J Prince is a man who just wanted to be a DJ, but because of his determination and hard work, he has developed into one of the most powerful and influential music moguls of all time. From Destiny's Child to Jay Z, J Prince has changed what it means to be an artist in today's world.
Common sense is his weapon
J. Prince, who goes by the stage name of Prince and is better known as The Rap Mogul, has the music industry in a chokehold. The man has just about everything at his disposal, but he is not afraid to use what he's got to get his point across. When it comes to Puff Daddy or Tidal streaming service CEO JAY-Z (it rhymes!), Prince is not one to be messed with.
