Resumen del Editor

The self-made musical artist follows his bestseller IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD with this second inspirational book for everyone who’s looking for answers in all the wrong places. It’s a book about self-empowerment, self-awareness, and ultimately self-love.

Independent rapper, songwriter, singer, and producer Russ sells out concerts across America and around the globe, collaborating with top artists, such as Snoop Dogg, Joey Bada$$, Ed Sheeran, Rick Ross, Lil Baby, Jadakiss, Bia, and Mozzy to name a few. At twenty-seven, he became a bestselling author with the publication of his debut book, IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD. Now, at thirty-one, Russ returns with a second book even more profound and intimate than his first. Building on his message of self-acceptance, It Was You All Along goes deeper into Russ’s heart and soul as it tracks the keys to knowing and loving yourself.

The book addresses the question posed by the subtitle—what if you’re the one you’ve been waiting for?—a line from Russ’s first album inspired by his mother’s advice. Success comes from loving and believing in yourself and working hard regardless of obstacles and naysayers. Published in conjunction with his tour of the same name, It Was You All Along expands on themes found in Russ’s music and across his albums, and each chapter title takes the name of a track. Russ has always followed his own beat—and shows you how to find your own unique rhythm, offering motivational wisdom on everything from trust, discipline, and letting go to authenticity, joy, and faith.

Packed with moving observances, It Was You All Along gives fans a rare look into the man behind the music and the challenges he continues to face both personally and as an independent artist. Russ gets deeply personal in this book, revealing how seeing a therapist helped him understand his relationship with his family and realize that he was so overly focused on helping everyone in his orbit when the person who needed his attention most was himself.

Russ uses his immense passion, his experiences, and his love for people to inspire us all. His honesty and straightforwardness will convince even the most reluctant reader that the answer can always be found within. An artist known for his powerful lyrics, Russ uses his songwriting gifts to craft prose that is moving, memorable, and motivational.

Amazing book.. hearing Russ himself read it and share his story makes it that much more relatable and easier to understand. Dig deeper, understand yourself and create self trust. Thanks for sharing Russ

His voice

Amazing book he is so inspiring even in different situations he’s so relatable and honest. To be so raw with his fans is humbling to say the least.

Honest and Personal

Pairing the book with Russ’ actual songs gave this audiobook another dimension. I’d sit with the whole song before reading and it reinforced the message he got across.

The is the book for you.

Everything that Russ speaks about in this book is something that I struggle with, obviously different scenarios but thank you for helping me be self aware, not only do I not have to be perfect, but I can teach my kids it’s okay to make mistakes, it’s okay to fail. Just get up and learn from what you did. And no matter what I will be here to support you. Also helped me come to the realization that in order to self love I need to work on myself, one step at a time. Thank you Russ.

Relatable

The availability to be so vulnerable and honest helps the reader not feel so alone. It speaks about what everyone or mostly everyone is already thinking of. Reminders on how to truly show up.

really good for teens to listen too!!!

Great book! Love Russ!!! I will defiantly will have my boys listen! next stop Russ concert!

The absolute rawness. Palpable. Exquisite.

Love. Love. Love. Thank you, Russ. For your vulnerability, your realness, & sharing your heart with us. This was powerful. This was dope.

Therapy in a Book

Russ really has a way with telling his story from a personal level and answering the questions I had from the beginning throughout the whole story to the end. It’s inspiring and motivating to push me to deepen the work within myself and continue my therapy journey which SANTIAGO pushed me to do. I could go on but I should probably start journaling the rest I have to say, thank you Russ!!!
