J Prince’s label mainly focuses on the gangsta rap scene as well as on southern rap and some of hip hop acts. Since the rap and hip hop scene is so popular in the United States it becomes very obvious how such a businessman as J Prince obtained such wealth.

The artist himself, whose real name is James Prince although he is often referred to as J Prince, has spent more than two decades promoting city’s rap scene as well as working with youth coming from less fortunate households in order to build a community that helps young people and adults.

He also started a campaign back in 2007 that aims to educate young people about the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases and in particular the prevention of such diseases as HIV and AIDS.
