The Prosperous Hip Hop Producer: My Beat-Making Journey from My Grandma's Patio to a Six-Figure Business (The Prosperous Series) Paperback – January 9, 2018
Purchase options and add-ons
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.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"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!"

Curtiss King’s inspirational story can resonate with so many producers, artists and entrepreneurs all together. So many details of his early days as a producer had me thinking, “WOW I LITERALLY JUST WENT THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THAT!” and when he explains his process and how he overcame it, it left me feeling like I could conquer the world.
This book reads like a reference guide/biographical hybrid. As you read the book, you’re following Curtiss’ ups and downs (if you think your struggle as a producer/artist/entrepreneur is unique, get in line, because I thought the same until I realized that Curtiss was facing problems that I’m going through now, and more at that, and found a solution. He should have named the book Producer Lemonade, because he was handed a lot of lemons in life and found a way to make something out of nothing.
He covers everything from understanding networking, to the truth about placements, to getting your name out there, personal brand, overcoming criticisms, the whole nine yards. He’s not some empty promise peddler whose selling dreams and telling you, “Now if you want to know the SECRET TO MAKING IT AS A PRODUCER, read my follow up book, “The PAID Hip-Hop Producer: Turning Prosperity into Long Term Opportunity.” I finished the book thinking, “I’m almost positive I missed another gem, I have to read this again.”
I found myself cheering him on even though I knew he was already winning. The vulnerability and openness (and his perspective on vulnerability and openness) make the dynamics of this book both captivating and motivating. It feels as if Curtiss King told me his life’s story as we were riding down a highway on a sunny day in California. To every producer/artist/entrepreneur whose looking for a book that gives it to you straight about the industry without having the interest level of paint drying on a wall, this is the book. $20 can change your perspective and approach to an ever evolving industry while showing you that nothing is new under the sun, it’s just a few new rules to the game. Fantastic read.
Reading Curtiss King's journey has been eye opening. This is what we need, an honest glimpse into what is needed to be successful in this industry. By seeing where Curtiss made the wrong and right choices, I can see where I went right and wrong.
This book is informative, relatable and Curtiss' wit is ever present! It's taught me not only how to make better music but make better choices when the music is finished. My dream is in my hands now. Thank you Curtiss King for writing the book I needed to read!
Prior to August 2016 I was unaware of who Curtiss King was. However, due to an auto accident at my day job and being out of work for some time I was able to learn who he was via his YouTube channel.
The circumstances that led me to his world were unfortunate, but at this point I wouldn't have it any other way. Everything that his brand stands for screams empowerment and I have no problem financially supporting this brotha.
The book was informative and entertaining. Curtiss also gave just enough transparency while still making me want to learn more about him.
I encourage any Rapper, Producer, Entrepreneur, etc to invest in this. The investment in this book is definitely an investment in your future.
Curtiss King provided more than a helping hand in production insight, he gave me some valuable life lessons. Reading and seeing Curtiss King’s journey from grandmother porch to a six-figure income business is no simple tale. He go’s in depth about his life as a kid with huge dreams of making it as a rapper/producer to becoming the man that made it happen.
I highly recommend anyone who is about,going through, or is on the verge of giving up on their dreams no matter what they are to read this book.
You own it to yourself.

He tells you about all his struggles coming up, you can sense that it was written with love and passion.
A great book for everybody, not only Music Producers!

If you're looking for the "formula" to make the next big hit or a certified banger then this book isn't for you, but then again you'd already be looking at things the wrong way, if you're looking to find out what it actually takes to be successful (hint, its not a "magic formula" its a grind!) then this is the book for you.
