J Prince Presents R.N.D.S. (Realest Niggaz Down South) is a 2-disc compilation of Southern Hip Hop jointly released by Rap-A-Lot Records and Priority Records on October 5, 1999.^[1] The album peaked at No. 58 on the Billboard 200 and No. 7 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Many artists from the Rap-A-Lot roster of the time appear throughout the compilation along with other popular and underground Southern rappers from other labels [including an early appearance by a then-unknown Ludacris and an appearance from Boxer Roy Jones, Jr.]. The edited version omits 16 songs, drastically reducing the album to only one disc and leaving only 11 songs. A Chopped and Screwed version of the album was released in 2004 [and is currently the only version of this album still in print].

Steve Huey of AllMusic wrote: "Over the course of two discs, J-Prince Presents: Realest Niggaz Down South tends to lose its momentum with too many mediocre contributions, but the sampler does have its fair share of good moments, which will make it worthwhile at least for some gangsta and Southern rap fans. Highlights come from Scarface, Goodie Mob, UGK, Willie D, Big Mike, MC Breed, 3-6 Mafia, the Hot Boyz, and Devin, among others."^[1]
