Rap-a-Lot Records (AKA Rap-a-Lot 4 Life) is a Houston hip hop record label. Rap-a-Lot was created in 1986. Sublabels include Smoke-a-Lot Records. The label was founded by James Smith (A.K.A. J Prince) in the mid-1980s and, with its most famous act the Geto Boys, put the South on the hip hop map. Since then, it has maintained its success and focus on gangsta and southern rap. It was referenced by The Notorious B.I.G. on the song "Flava in Ya Ear (remix)" when he said, "I'm not from Houston, but I Rap-a-Lot." At the end of the Devin the Dude song, "What a Job" featuring Snoop Dogg, Snoop congratulates the record company, "J. Prince, Jas Prince, Rap-a-Lot, still on top, 2007". Geto Boys were the labels first nationally popular act, while Devin the Dude, who the New York Times calls "A brilliant oddball with a spaced-out flow."[1], and whose contract ends in 2008, was, for 15 years, the label's longest-running act. J. Prince Jr., the son of J. Prince, has a label under Rap-a-Lot called Southern Empire Entertainment.[2] [edit] Discography
