Jermaine Dupri has reached modern-day mythical status in the music industry. He is the power behind the music of top artists including Mariah Carey,Usher, Lil Jon, and Janet Jackson.

Enriched with never-before-seen photographs from studios, parties, and awards shows with our favorite celebrities, Young, Rich, and Dangerous allows all readers an inside look at the most exciting moments of this hitmaker's life among the best in the business.

Industry Reviews

" Jermaine Dupri has had more than a wonderful life -- performer, songwriter, musician, producer -- and now he's adding another jewel to his crown: author. The honesty of Young, Rich, and Dangerous, and the candor with which he talks about his life, is sure to keep the reader turning the pages. I wouldn't expect anything less from J.D. -- he loves to keep the flame burning and the media talking! When Jermaine 'rains,' go on, get wet, and check it out." -- Quincy Jones
