ja rule

Monday, May 30th, 2011

Ja Rule’s 1999 solo debut album, Venni, Vetti, Vecci, launched the hit single “Holla Holla” and made the 23-year-old a hot new icon of “thug rap” style. [1]

Venni Vetti Vecci is the debut studio album by American recording artist Ja Rule, released through Murder Inc. Records. [2]

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 “. [3]

With three multi-platinum albums released in just two years, Ja Rule has become one of the most successful rap artists to rule the charts. [1]

Atkins began his rap career in 1994 with his hip hop group Cash Money Click. [3]

Ja Rule is back on the promotional trail, three years after he released his last album to disappointing sales. [4]

As Ja Rule racked up hit after hit, he became the poster artist for Murder, Inc., the music label overseen by controversial producer Irv Gotti. [...] Ja Rule’s other albums include Pain is Love (2003), Blood in My Eye (2004, with the hit “Clap Back”) and R.U.L.E. (2004). [1]

In 1998, he was a featured guest on Jay-Z’s hit single “Can I Get A… ” along with Amil. [3]

Def Jam 25: Volume 4 - It Takes Two Pt. [4]

In 1995, he made his first appearance on Mic Geronimo’s “Time to Build” which featured Jay-Z and DMX, who were also in their early stages of their careers. [...] Ja’s second album, Rule 3:36, was released on October 10, 2000. [...] The song, a remake of Tupac Shakur ’s song “Hail Mary “, was done partially as a response to Ja Rule’s remake of another Tupac song, “Pain” (retitled “So Much Pain”) - the rappers felt that Ja could never match Tupac (even going as far as stating that “[Tupac] would never ride with Ja”), and so dissed him for trying to “imitate” the deceased rapper. [3]

Though his preferred tagline is “Murda,” after his record label Murder, Inc., the happily married Ja Rule is a crossover musician able to croon out a love song as well as a hard-edged rap. [1]

Jeffrey Atkins (born February 29, 1976), better known by his stage name Ja Rule, is an American rapper, singer, and actor. [3]
