Rap-A-Lot Records is a Southern hip hop record label, founded in 1987 by James "J Prince" Smith. Primarily due to its most famous act Geto Boys, the label was a major force in putting the South on the hip hop map. Since then, it has maintained its success and focus on gangsta and southern hip hop. Geto Boys was the label's first nationally popular act, while Devin the Dude was, for fifteen years, the label's longest-running act.
