Dupri recently inked a deal with Atria Books for his prospective autobiography, “Young, Rich and Dangerous: My Life in Music.” He promises to show the way for aspiring wannabes in the volume.

Dupri plans to co-author the book with business journalist Samantha Marshall and organize it into eight chapters, or “tracks” (for instance, track one, “Home Alone,” will be about his childhood). It won’t exactly be a tell-all, but “Young, Rich and Dangerous” promises to reveal what life was like in the studio with Usher, Mariah, Lil Jon and Bow Wow (who Dupri describes as a “brat”). The episodes are to be punctuated with candid photographs and behind-the-scenes shots of parties and awards shows.

“People ask me all the time if I get jealous that Usher’s the big star and I don’t have anywhere near the kind of fame and screaming female fans he has,” Dupri writes in the proposal. “No way! It’s like how Berry Gordy felt about Smokey Robinson. There’s a piece of me in Usher, like there is in all the artists I’ve worked with over the years.”

Dupri then claims that Usher’s Confessions album is really his story, “me cheating on my steady girlfriend, having a baby with that other woman and having to confess to everything that happened to my main girl.”

But Dupri doesn’t take all the credit for Usher’s 2004 LP, even though he says he came up “with the lyrics, beats, tracks and everything.”

“Whenever [Usher] makes a hit, he’s always in love with some girl, and he’s usually at the end of that relationship,” Dupri continues. “His relationship with [TLC singer] Chilli was going into flame-out, and I told him to … let it ‘Burn.’ Hence the song. Next time we do an album together, if he’s not in love, I might be nervous!”

Dupri also promises to reveal moments from his own love life with Janet, whom he calls his soul mate. Part of what he appreciates about her, he writes, is that she understands the business and goes to strip clubs with him. “I even took Janet to Magic City so she could see where I go,” he writes. “It was no big deal.”

“People are always asking how I got a woman like that,” he writes. “Eminem likes to be a hater, but I’m OK with that because I understand that he doesn’t pick on anyone if they aren’t successful. I was even excited when he put me in his song
