Overview

"""Music is simply the soul boiling over into sound. When you produce with this in mind, there is no way you'll ever miss the mark."" Curtiss King: Producer. Rapper. Mentor to thousands of aspiring artists and entrepreneurs through his YouTube channel. His production credits include Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, E-40 and MURS, and giants like MTV, VH1, and VANS. But once upon a time Curtiss was broke, struggling--and crafting beats on a video game console on his grandma's patio. The Prosperous Hip Hop Producer charts his rollercoaster ride to success from these humble beginnings. From beat battles to Top Dawg Entertainment, from empty pockets to a six-figure business, The Prosperous Hip Hop Producer is the story of a dedicated artist who risked all he had--and succeeded. Along the way we get cameos from the likes of DJ Battlecat, Ab-Soul, and Dibia$e, and insights into how successful artists and labels operate in the real world. Practical, inspirational, and motivational, The Prosperous Hip Hop Producer does more than share the story of a successful artist--it sets you on the road to becoming one yourself."

Absolutely amazing read. A level of inspiration for producers and artists that reaches a level of realness that has not been done before. Curtis King does a service for the industry that is whole heartedly needed in an age where the market is changing at a drastic speed. A must read for new and old alike. Matthew Santiago Excellent advice for entrepreneurs. Great book depicting what it takes to go from poor to prosperous. I highly recommend this book for all young creatives. Kendal Omdahl I love this book. Curtiss King gives us value through each line of this text. Years of effort, mistakes made, triumphs and teachings throughout his career as rapper and producer who were shaping him to be who he is now. It is a book full of inspiration, tips related to the music industry and best of all is that besides being an inspiring book full of anecdotes and techniques to approach musical production, it contains lessons that can be applied to life and personal development. If you are a producer or aspire to be, this book should definitely be in your arsenal. I would love to meet Curtiss in person, both his videos and his book are loaded with a lot of positive energy. THIS IS A MUST! Carlos Torres Alicea
