From Mansion Global
A Texas megamansion owned by music promoter James Prince, founder of Rap-A-Lot Records, has hit the market for $4.4 million.
The French-inspired home, located in Heath, Texas, about 25 miles east of Dallas, has a dramatic facade of double-height Corinthian columns under a mansard roof and spans more than 12,000 square feet, according to last week’s listing with Phil Owens and Heather Stevens of the Agency Frisco.
“Words like ‘stunning’ and ‘spectacular’ are often used to describe beautiful, unique homes, but in this case, they hardly capture what makes this estate so exceptional,” Owens said. The mansion stands on 5.4 acres in one of Dallas-Fort Worth’s most sought-after areas, he added, and “offers a level of luxury that is simply unmatched.”
The sheer size of the home is one of the things Prince, 60, loves most about it.
“I love the space to roam,” he said in an email. “The peace, and more importantly the privacy it provides, is my favorite thing about the property.”
Prince founded Houston-based Rap-A-Lot Records in 1986, producing albums for groups like Geto Boys, Do or Die and UGK to success. He was also one of Drake’s early mentors.
Prince purchased the residence in 2019, according to property records. Since Texas is a non-disclosure state, the purchase price is not publicly available, but it was listed in 2018 for $2.75 million.
The home has been on and off the market since January 2023, when it was listed for $4.5 million, listing records show. It was removed from the market a few months later, reappearing in July 2023 for $4.7 million. Since then, it’s popped on and off the market several times, with the listing—then asking $4.3 million—most recently removed in July.
