An inspirational book by self-made musical superstar, Russ, reminding you that it starts with YOU, to believe in yourself, and to get out of your own way. 

Twenty-seven-year-old rapper, songwriter, and producer Russ walks his own path, at his own pace. By doing so, he proved that he didn’t need a major label to surpass over a billion streams on Spotify/Apple Music, get on Forbes’ 2019 “30 Under 30,” make the Forbes‘ “30 Under 30 Cash Kings” at number 20 for most earned, sell out arenas across the U.S. and around the globe, and become one of the most popular and engaged rappers right now. His method was simple: love and believe in yourself absolutely and work hard no matter what. In this memoir, Russ inspires readers to walk to their individual rhythms and beat their biggest obstacles: themselves.

With chapters named after his most powerful and popular songs, IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD will reflect on the lessons he’s learned from his career, family, and relationships. He’ll push readers to bet on themselves, take those leaps of faith, and recognize struggles as opportunities. IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD will give readers an inside-look at the man and the motivation behind the music. A lover of books like The Alchemist and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Russ delivers a short, potent, inspirational, raw, and honest book that gives readers a way to find self-belief and unlock their potential. Fans already rely on Russ as an inspiration of confidence; now, he is taking it to the next level with this book, which will contain lyrics from his music and visuals that reflect his inimitable style.

Russ

A veteran in the industry, Russ has garnered a whopping 22 billion career streams and over 25 million singles sold to date. His albums There’s Really A Wolf, SHAKE THE SNOW GLOBE, and Zoo released via his partnership with Columbia Records all hit the Billboard 200 chart and received critical acclaim, with There’s Really A Wolf going certified 2x platinum with standout singles “What They Want” and “Losin Control,” and spending 84 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. In 2019, Russ released his best-selling IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD, an inspirational book reminding us that your success starts with you and the belief in yourself. That same year, Forbes named Russ one of their “30 Under 30.” In 2022, a champion for independent artists, Russ launched his indie label DIEMON (an acronym for “Do It Everyday Music Or Nothing”) with partner and longtime collaborator Bugus Thompson. With DIEMON, Russ launched artist Ktlyn after her remix of his platinum single “Handsomer” went viral. He’s performed on some of the world’s largest stages and wowed audiences – including performing “Patience” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! His most recent album, SANTIAGO, debuted at #12 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and explores Russ’ journey of self-approval, finding his self-worth, self-love, and moving on from seeking validation from others. On this album, Russ opens up about his struggles with mental health following the trials and tribulations of the music industry, and now his newfound freedom as an independent artist. Russ also debuted his short film SANTIAGO, a visual to the album, in 88 theaters worldwide.

Reviews for IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD

[Realizing The Future · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I listened to Russ before Losin Control, seeing his career get bigger and bigger, building so much momentum. It’s was exciting to find a book by him. If your a true Russ supporter you know of the Law of Attraction hints and manifestation the legend drops in his songs. To hear at this level the authors mindset was a boost to my own dreams and desires. I feel very inspired, in a “I know what to do” sense. And I do, We all do and Russ’ book “It’s all in your head” reminds you this and puts you on a fast track to spending your time in your passion, grateful and with a zest for life, for being the greatest version of yourself. Honestly super dope book, I listened in one sitting and plan to listen again multiple times for all the gems tucked in this Gucci bag of a book.

Inspirational, I love how Russ shared his story, my favourite artist

[Katia Villa · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I don't even know who this guy is but a quick peek at his work and you can tell this guy is incredibly inspirational and hard working. If you are a struggling artist, or a victim of impostor syndrome, I highly recommend a listen (or read) to this book. It's the best pep talk I could ask for!

[Subhojeet Bhadra · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Really motivating & inspiring, but was not found of the music at beginning of every chapter, made it a little difficult to follow up.

[Rami Arja · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It is the autobiography of the still young artist Russ, narrated by himself which is fantastic. God some strong quotes in there, it is some sort of Gary Vee type of book, however it is good to see vulnerability in a successful artist and this book is like dream booster for musicians.

So uplifting, short and to the point without being egotistical. I loved the musical pieces and short chapters. There are some serious gems in here, I was looking for something to light a fire in me and this audiobook did that. At the end I turned on “Back to Life” by Russ and jammed tf out!

This is exactly what I needed. I loved every part of it.

[Michael Mason · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book is amazing! Russ lays out the blueprint to success, manifestation, and making your dreams a reality. The It's All In Your Head is a great compliment to his music. If you listen closely Russ drops knowledge, wisdom, understanding, insight, hindsight, and foresight in every song as well as in the short but incredibly powerful book.

[Samantha Grundy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

[Brian Holloway Jr · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great listen! Covered a lot of topics that I personally thought I was going through, was experiencing, and have experienced in my life time. It feels good knowing that there's other individuals with similar mindsets to not only relate to, but also learn from and recognize the growth that still can happen. Highly recommend of you're an individual and a go-getter.

[Santino Tomasetti · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]
