Jeffrey Atkins (born February 29, 1976) better known by his stage name, Ja Rule, is an American rapper, singer, and actor. Born in Hollis, Queens, he began his career in the group Cash Money Click and debuted in 1999 with Venni Vetti Vecci and its single “Holla Holla”. From 2000 to 2004, Ja Rule had several hits that made the top 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, including “Between Me and You” with Christina Millian, “I’m Real (Murder Remix)” with Jennifer Lopez, “Always on Time” with Ashanti, “Mesmerize” also with Ashanti, and “Wonderful” with R. Kelly and Ashanti. During the 2000s, Ja Rule was signed to The Inc. Records, which was formerly known as Murder Inc. and was led by Irv Gotti.
Varna’s own and DJ Swed Lu warmed up the fans before Ja Rule got on stage to kick it for a second time in Bulgaria. After a successful performance in Lovech two years ago, the expectations were high for most of the fans, and there was no room for disappointment. Shortly after 2:30 AM, Ja Rule started performing his hits before the masses of exalted fans. Of course, the star did not miss the chance to pop a champagne bottle and share it with his supporters, reminiscing of the fact that he is going in jail on June 8th, and stating the party was going to be one of his last ones before entering the penitentiary.
Ja Rule is one of the living legends of hip-hop with multiple hits and several Hollywood productions behind his back. The star is releasing his latest album on June 7th, a day before his sentence becomes valid. The rapper was sentenced to two years of imprisonment for illegal possession of weapon and marijuana, but the court gave him the opportunity to record an album (“Pain Is Love II”)before serving his time in jail.
Anyway, the party was great and Ja Rule performed all his well-known hits, including “Always on Time”, “Body”, “Mesmerize”, etc. Atkins did not miss the opportunity to ask where he comes from, making the crowd shout “New York”, as he was going through the verses of his homonymous single. With a month to go before he starts serving his prison sentence, Ja Rule toasts to the good life on “Superstar,” a cut off his forthcoming album “Pain Is Love II”, due June 7th. The Queens MC grapples with fame over the haunting beat produced by former Murder Inc. affiliate 7 Aurelius.
“Dear heavenly father, this devil wore a blue dress, Angelina, Madonna/ Fame monster, no relation to Gaga/ B@#$% got a lot of problems/ Money ain’t one of them, promise”, raps Rule before the breathy hook kicks in.
As a fan of the black music, I enjoyed the party a lot, and I believe that the jail is not the best place to be at, though sometimes, it is inevitable. So, I can only wish Ja Rule a pleasant stay there and I hope that he will do ok behind the bars.
One of the living legends of hip-hop ❤
