" 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

" Jermaine Dupri leads a generation of movers, shakers, and hit-makers who have redefined the American Dream. His impeccable instinct, ear, and vision for bringing hip hop to the forefront of pop culture propelled his remarkable rise in the music business, and is a testament to his hard work and determination. Young, Rich, and Dangerous is an informative and entertaining blueprint for the hiphop generation's music lovers and aspiring music moguls!"

-- Clarence Avant, music executive

" Even though [Jermaine Dupri's] a young dude who's very much in tune with what's happening musically today, his grind is 100 percent old school. He is one of a breed, like Quincy Jones, Babyface, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis, who can make a record from A to Z.... He's a superstar because his great music has made so many stars and touched millions of lives."

-- Teddy Riley, from the Foreword
