For decades, serial entrepreneur James Prince presided over Rap-A-Lot Records, one of the first and most successful independent rap labels. In his memoir, he explains how he earned his reputation as one of the most respected men in Hip Hop. By staying true to his three principles of heart, loyalty, and commitment, and an unwavering faith in God, he has defeated many adversaries. Whether battling the systemic cycle of poverty, record label executives, boxing promoters, or corrupt DEA agents, Prince has always emerged victorious. Respect isn't given, it's earned. In recounting his compelling life story, Prince analyzes the art and science of earning respect - and giving respect - and how to apply these principles to your own life.

A lot of times in the music business, you see people and y'all bullsh*t each other ... But when you do business with [J. Prince], you're held at your word. You know if he tells you something, he's gonna do it, which is refreshing. --Jay-Z
[J. Prince] knows exactly and precisely what he wants to accomplish, and he sets his mind out to accomplish it ... I'm so proud of what Rap-A-Lot meant [to the rap game]. --Lyor Cohen
