Biography

Early Years

He attended Junior High School in Floral Park, New York, where he met his future wife Aisha Murray and they graduated in 1991. They attended Martin Van Buren High School together but he did not graduate. When Atkins was five years old, his sister died from respiratory problems. Growing up in a strict religious home, Atkin's family did not celebrate birthdays and Christmas, and as a child, was not allowed to listen to rap music. When he first heard it, he decided to be a rapper. He would sneak the music into his house and played it on his CD player when his mother wasn't around. As a youngster Ja's family didn't celebrate Christmas or birthdays. He said that he was able to live without it because he never knew too much about it. His sister would die when he was five, which left him an only child to his mother. Ja Rule said that he used to go to a school in Queens, but transferred to a private school in Manhattan because of bullying due to his small height. During his interview with Louis Farrakahn, he stated that he was the only black student at the school. Ja said that because of that the other kids didn't bother him. At age 15, Atkins appeared with 0-1 and Chris Black as part of Cash Money Click. This would lead to him being signed by TVT Records. He would end up being heard by a young DJ who called himself DJ Irv, then later Irv Gotti. Gotti, was a friend of Jay-Z's and he was also a DJ for Def Jam Recordings. During the mid 90s his main priority was meeting Ja Rule and making him the center of his career. He wanted to sign Ja to his new label Murder Inc. Records. He wanted Ja because of his distinct deep voice. After Irv was able to sign Ja along with DMX and Jay-Z to Def Jam. He along with Russell Simmons beagn to have an idea that they all work together. They formed a group named Murder Inc.. They recorded many songs together and were featured on other albums when at least two members were on an album they were considered Murder Inc. After the launch of DMX's career, the group faded out of existence as they would only make one more appearance on a song together. Despite all of this exposure Ja Rule was still relatively unknown as a rapper so the people at Def Jam came with an idea to launch Ja Rule's career through the success of Jay-Z. Jay would appear on his album and Ja would return the favor as they briefly became associated acts. Through Ja Rule's collaborations with most of the Def Jam roster, he had made himself a household name and became one of the most popular rap acts as he would begin his long successful strak as a rapper. He became known as a rapper when he was featured on Jay-Z's Can I Get A... alongside Amil. He quickly catupulted himself to the most popular rapper in the game and on of Def Jam Recordings premier acts.

Music career

Venni Vetti Vecci (1999)

On June 1, 1999, Ja Rule released his highly-anticipated debut album, Venni Vetti Vecci. The album marked not only Ja's debut, but the debut album from his label, Murder Inc. Records. Venni Vetti Vecci instantly made Ja Rule a star within the hip hop world as he became a staple on hip hop and pop networks like MTV, VH1, and BET. The album featured the summer smash "Holla Holla" along with "Its Murda" with Jay-Z and DMX. The final single was "Daddy's Little Baby", a duet with Ronald Isley. These three singles and the production coming from Irv Gotti along with performances from Memphis Bleek, Erick Sermon, Case, Black Child, Nemisis, and Caddillac Tah, then known as Tah Murdah, along with a notabel performance from his mentor, Jay-Z led to the album going platinum. Through this album Ja Rule made himself a household name and a major superstar of the time.

Rule 3:36 (2000)

Ja Rule would return during the summer of 2000, with his new single "Between Me and You", which featured Def Soul act Christina Milian. The single was quickly followed by Ja's second effort, Rule 3:36, which was released on October 10, 2000. 3:36 also featured singles "Put It On Me", and "I Cry". The album featured guest appearances from Lil Mo, Vita, Christina Milian, label mates Jayo Felony, and Black Child. The album was ridiculed by critics for its commercial sound, which completely abandoned the dark street sound of his debut. Despite this, the album fared well on the charts and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Charts. The album would be a huge success going 3x Platinum. After the release of his second album, Ja Rule's popularity was more than the likes of Jay-Z and it earned him a guest verse on LL Cool J's G.O.A.T. album. The release of this album marked a huge turn in Ja Rule's style of music from a more hardcore edge to a pop crossover oriented sound.

Pain Is Love (2001)

Soon after the release of Rule 3:36, Irv Gotti would sign R&B singer Ashanti to the label, which led to Lil Mo ending her collaborations with the label. During the late summer of 2001, Ja Rule released the lead single from his third studio album, Pain Is Love, which was "Livin It Up". The second single was the "I'm Real (remix)", and the third was "Always On Time", and the last was "Down Ass Bitch". This album is noted for two things the first is introducing a young Ashanti to the music business and the second is bringing Charli Baltimore back to the music business. This album is widely considered one of Ja Rule's best albums and a classic in its own right as it was somewhat of a critical success and many said it was his best yet. Pain Is Love featured guest appearances from Case, The Murder Inc. Family, Missy Elliott, Jodie Mack, Tweet, Jennifer Lopez and a recording from the late Tupac Shakur. Along with its critical success it was also a commercial success it, like its predecessor went 3x Platinum. At the time, this album was considered the best album in Ja Rule's discography. Still many consider it the second-best album in his collection and has been called a classic by some. Pain Is Love marked the signing of new artists Ashanti, and that of Charli Baltimore. Both would appear on the album, Baltimore's return after a short haitus. It was after the release of this album that a feud would ignite with Lil Mo after she commented negatively about not being featured on the album due to Ashanti and this led to an all out was between her and Murder Inc.

Since Ja Rule was so successful during this period, he was recruited by then-newcomer, Fabolous to appear on his debut album on the track "Ride For This."

The Last Temptation (2002)

Ja Rule would shave his head during the promotion of his fourth studio album, The Last Temptation; this would lead to criticism from other recording artists, mainly 50 Cent and DMX. His fourth album was released on November 19 2002. Although the album was fairly successful (it was certified platinum), it failed to carry the momentum brought by his previous album, criticized for being too commercial. Despite the heavy criticism, it would still be fairly popular and is noted for bringing Bobby Brown back to the music scene and it it the last album by Ja Rule before he really got deeply engaged in arguments with Flipmode, Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment, DMX, and 50 Cent. The album features guest appearances from new signees, Young Life, Alexi, Chink Santana, Eastwood, Crooked I, and Nas, who almost signed to the label during that period. Appearances also come from long time-Inc. artists Charli Baltimore, Ashanti, Caddillac Tah, and Bobby Brown. Other guests were Pharrell, and the late Tupac Shakur. In 2002, Atkins appeared on Irv Gotti Presents: The Inc. and Irv Gotti Presents: The Remixes. Both albums were successful, spawning such hits as "Down 4 U" and "Ain't It Funny Remix." Ja was very popular during the summer of 2002, featured on Fat Joe's "What's Luv", and Mary J. Blige's "Rainy Dayz" aside from his own singles. During late 2002 and early 2003, his popularity fell off dramatically, due to the rise of 50 Cent and his disses aimed at Ja Rule and The Inc. Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes, and Eminem were included in the argument when Ja Rule dissed them all on Rap City. All but Dre would respond on the 2Pac-sampled "Hail Mary". Busta said that he was shocked when Ja dissed him because of his signing to Aftermath Entertainment, because they had been frequent collaborators.

Blood In My Eye (2003)

Blood In My Eye is the fifth album from Ja Rule. The content of this album led to a dramatic fall in his popularity. This album is also noted as the last Ja Rule album released by The Inc. Records under the moniker Murder Inc. This was partially due to Ja's disses and death threats to adversaries, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes (a former associate), Eminem, Dr. Dre, DMX, and G-Unit. One of the reasons that the album is considered Ja Rule's worst is because it was planned to be a mixtape, but former label Def Jam Recordings forced him to release an album in 2003 to honor the contract, where he released an album every year. Blood In My Eye was a commercial flop, but peaked at #6, but only managed to go gold, his lowest selling to date, and widely accepted as his worst ever. On this album, Ja sparked rivalries with the whole Interscope Records roster and it would be the hip hop artists signed to Interscope Records that would respond. Also on featured on the album were disses to former associate, Lil Mo where he states that Lil Mo never had a hit without him and how he launched her career. This album is considered Ja Rule's worst material and was key in his fall from popularity as it only certified Gold. In later years Ja has spoke a lot about this album, he said that he had intended for The Last Temptation to be his final album and this to be just a mixtape, but Def Jam forced him to release an album in 2003 because of his known popularity. He said that the album wasn't a street album, but that instead it was a hate album that he needed to record and release to get his feelings out there mainly just to vent. He said that he really didn't care how people felt about the album, because he was already rich Ja just had get some stuff off of his chest. Ja Rule said that after that all you have to do is move on and go back to the formula that works.

R.U.L.E. (2004)

After the critical and commercial flop of his previous album, Ja Rule would return to form on his sixth studio album, R.U.L.E. released on November 9, 2004. This album would serve as a comeback of sorts for Ja as he saw a return to mainstream success. The lead single was "Wonderful" which was followed by the street anthem, "New York", the third and last single was "Caught Up". All three of these singles were major hits in the US. The album featured guest appearances from Ashanti, Lloyd, Trick Daddy, R. Kelly, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Claudette Ortiz, Black Child, Caddillac Tah and many more. R.U.L.E. is considered one of the best albums of 2004 and the best album of Ja Rule's career and many fans and critics alike call this album a classic. The album was certified Platinum in the United States in 2006, and it is the fifth of his six released albums to go platinum. Soon after the release of this album Ja had announced that he was returning in the summer of 2005 with a double album which was to be entitled Loki. It was going to be a double album the first disc which would feature the typical Ja Rule songs and the second disc which would be solely dedicated to dissing 50 Cent. It was during this period where he ended his beefs with Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Busta Rhymes.

Exodus (2005)

On December 6, 2005, Ja Rule released his seventh album, which is nothing more than a greatest hits album. It features only one new song "Exodus (Intro)" which is co-produced by Irv Gotti and Dr. Dre. It features all of the hit singles throughout his career. The album was released to honor the contract with Def Jam so that The Inc. could get a fresh start with a new distributor. Despite the album being nothing special it went platinum in early 2006. It featured the hits "New York", "Wonderful", "Between Me And You", "Put It On Me", and many more. Appearances came from Jay-Z, DMX, Irv Gotti, LLoyd, Ashanti, Lil Mo, Christina Milian and Bobby Brown. After the release of this compilation, Ja Rule took a hiatus from recording music.

Departure From Def Jam (2005-2006)

In 2005, The Inc. Records would come under investigation because of the drug trades by Kenneth "Supreme" Mc Griff, who is associated with Irv Gotti. This would all lead to Def Jam Recordings refusing to renew The Inc.'s contract. They were willing to let go of the label, despite the fact that they were giving up Ja Rule, who had been the label's flagship since 2000 even if he wasn't recording music he was keeping the label in the news. From 2004 to 2006, Irv would search for other labels, and reached a deal with Universal Records.

Return to recording music

Now felling well-rested from his taking a break from rap Ja Rule came back into the rap game during the summer of 2007 with his single "Uh Ohhh!", which features Lil Wayne. His album, The Mirror will be released on February 4, 2008.

The Mirror (2008)

On February 4, 2008, Ja Rule plans to release his Universal Records debut and eighth studio album, The Mirror. The first single, "Uh Oh" was released on July 31, 2007 and premiered on music video shows the following day. This second single, "Body" was released in September. The album contains a collaboration with former G-Unit artist, The Game, whom he had once had an altercation with. They will appear on the track "Sunset". The album was originally supposed to be titled Love Is Pain as a sequel to his album Pain Is Love. Aside from Ashley Joi, The Game, and Lil Wayne, there will be no guest appearances on this album and will mark the last time that he ever mentions 50 Cent, DMX, or Common. The reasoning towards the title of the album is that it is " the only place where you can't lie to yourself."

Controversy

50 Cent

In 1999, Ja Rule, who was at the time a rising star, had a run with another young rapper 50 Cent. This would lead to 50 Cent releasing a diss track entitled "Ya Life's On The Line". Ja Rule, would take subliminal shots on his albums and singles. While 50 Cent was underground, he called Ja Rule and The Inc. out by name multiple times. In 2002, Dr. Dre and Eminem were brought in the feud when 50 Cent signed to their respective labels. Ja Rule responded with Loose Change, which dissed all of Shady/Aftermath. In early 2003, 50 Cent released his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin, which featured the vicious track "Back Down", which called out the whole Murder Inc. roster. The whole album was dedicated to dissing Ja Rule, and Murder Inc. Records. During the summer of 2003, Busta Rhymes, a friend of Ja's signed to Aftermath and Ja Rule would diss him on Rap City. Though, the feud would not last long, they would never really become friends again. In 2003, Ja Rule released his hate album, which dissed all of Shady/Aftermath, except for Obie Trice, whose attacks would go unnoticed. Ja Rule would first hit back with the non-album single "Loose Change", which not only called out 50 Cent, but also Young Buck, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Lil Mo and Busta Rhymes. Ja would come back during the fall of 2003 with the lead single from Blood In My Eye, "Clapback". It was a diss record aimed at 50 Cent. This single is probably the most vicious single to be released from an album and is one of few diss records released from an album as a single. Despite the content and it not being commercial, it was a minor hit off of the album. This sparked an all out war between the G-Unit label and with Murder Inc. as Shady and Aftermath vowed to not diss Ja Rule or The Inc. as long as they don't diss them. Longtime rival DMX would jump in and take sides with 50 as he and Ja Rule would go back and forth from the late stages of 2003 until early 2004. This would prove successful for 50 Cent, but Ja Rule's career floundered as he lost street credibility. In 2004, Ja Rule would regain his fanbase with his successful platinum album which featured many collaborations as 50 Cent's behavior became more erratic and annoying, as he dissed everyone who appeared on R.U.L.E. It had seemed that the beef had simmered down until 50 Cent came back with the diss record Piggy Bank, which also targeted Fat Joe and Jadakiss for them appearing on the G-Unit diss record "New York". Though Fat Joe and Jadakiss would respond, the original beef had seemed to die down until 2006 when Ja Rule returned with the diss records 21 Gunz and So Hot. G-Unit would respond with the song "The Return of Ja Fool." Until 2007, the feud seemed to be over and there was even a rumor that had said that they had both sat down and resolved their differences. These rumors proved to be false when 50 Cent was asked about Ja Rule and threw a jab at both Ja and Mims. Ja Rule responded with a freestyle diss to 50 Cent over the "I Get Money" beat. As of November 2007, 50 Cent has not responded and Ja Rule said that's it now he is done with beefing.

DMX

Tensions between Ja Rule and DMX have supposedly dated back to the early 1990s. They seemed to be friendly as they recorded many songs together and DMX appeared on Ja Rule's debut album. Their feud did not become public until 2000. DMX insists that the feud is based on Ja Rule copying his style with the deep voice, while Ja Rule insists that DMX had no problem with him until he outsold DMX on their respective 2001 albums.

Eminem

After 50 Cent signed with Eminem's Shady Records, Ja Rule began to diss Eminem. Their feud became public in 2003 with the release of his album Blood In My Eye, but more specific, the song Loose Change, where he names Eminem Feminem. He accuses Em of cross-dressing, being gay and says that his daughter, Hallie will grow up to be a slut because of the reputation of his mother and Kim. Eminem would respond with the Tupac-sampled Hail Mary 2003. They would have a back and forth battle until the release of 50 Cent's Piggy Bank. After that release, Eminem reached out to Ja Rule to end the feud and there is no longer any animosity towards the two.

Dr. Dre

The feud with Dr. Dre stems from his association with Eminem and 50 Cent. Ja Rule would diss Dr. Dre on 2003's Loose Change. He names Dr. Dre Gay Dre and he accuses Dre of taking transvestites to his home. Dre would reciprocate a disagreement for the first time since the 1990s when he responded on Obie Trice's song "Shit Hits The Fan". He would say 'this lil nigga Ja Rule say he go slap me nigga please you gotta jump and swing to hit me in the knees', he goes on to accuse Ja of trying to be Tupac and calls him an insult to the slain rapper. They would not diss each other anymore. Dr. Dre would even produce the one original song off of his Exodus album and Dr. Dre is listed as one of Ja's producers on his Myspace page and Dre is also listed as one of the friends. The feud was officially squashed in 2007 by Snoop Dogg, who is a mutual friend of both. They have since appeared on the remix for Snoop's Imagine.

Busta Rhymes

While 50 Cent is out taunting Ja Rule and Murder Inc., Busta Rhymes, who was a friend of the label would sign to Aftermath Entertainment after his sixth album sold poorly on J Records. This would anger Ja Rule, who would also go after Busta on his now infamous diss track "Loose Change". Busta would respond with a verse over the Tupac-sampled beat "Hail Mary". After this nothing more was heard from their beef and it seems to have subsided as Busta was featured on the remix of his single "New York" and on Snoop Dogg's "Imagine" remix. They haven't mentioned each other in their recent interviews when they are asked about feuds in the hip hop nation they both have said that they are done with all the fighting in the rap game.

Personal life

Criminal Charges

During the summer of 2007, Ja Rule got arrested for gun and drug possession charges along with Lil Wayne. In this charge, he could have faced up to three years in prison, but all charges were dropped in October of 2007 as he just paid a substantial amount of money to the NYPD. During 2003, Ja Rule was arrested for assaulting a person taunting him about the 50 Cent feud outside of a nightclub in Toronto, Canada. He would end up suing Ja Rule, but they settled out of court. In 1999, he along with the rest of Murder Inc. were brought up on charges for assaulting 50 Cent, which led to a restraining order against them for 50. Also in 2003, he punched a man in Toronto for shouting at him in a crowd because of the 50 Cent feud. In 2004, police investigated whether a feud involving The Inc. led to fatal shooting outside a nightclub party hosted by Ja Rule. In July 2007, Ja Rule was arrested for gun possession.

Romantic Life

Ja Rule met his future wife, Aisha while attending middle school and they would get married soon as they turned eighteen. Despite this, Ja has been romantically linked to other famous female celebrities. There were rumors that Jennifer Lopez had began dating Ja Rule after their collaboration on "I'm Real", which was not long after she had split with Sean Combs. He has even admitted that he has cheated on her before like in the song "Caught Up" and also "I Cry." Many thought that he had begun dating Lil Mo while they were collaborating by looking at how close they would get in their videos. All of these rumors proved to be false as he is married to his wife and they live together in New Jersey with their three children.

Homophobia

In the September 2007 issue of Complex magazine, Ja Rule expressed that homosexuals are to be blamed for the problems and destruction in the United States, and was disgusted at MTV's promotion of LGBT television shows. He also spoke out about how hip hop is being blamed for more issues than homosexuality, and perpetuated the belief that gays are evil and corrupting music and television.

"And if it is, then we need to go step to Paramount, and fucking MGM, and all of these other motherfuckers that's making all of these movies and we need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these fucking shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can't watch this shit," he continued. "Dating shows that's showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let's talk about shit like that! If that's not fucking up America, I don't know what is".

His comments prompted a strong rebuke from GLAAD, who issued a public statement stating, "No fair-minded person can look at JaRule’s interview with Complex Magazine and believe for one second that his children could be more harmed by what they might see on television than by the vulgarity and prejudice that comes out of their father’s mouth. Now that media have seen JaRule’s intolerance unmasked by his own words, they have a responsibility not to provide in the future a platform for his ugly, vulgar displays of prejudice.”

Ja Rule later denied that he was homophobic and that he was mis-quoted in an interview with online MySpace interview channel The Hook Up on 24 October, 2007
