Ja Rule

29-Feb-1976


United States


Songwriter

Ja Rule is considered one of the most successful singers in the U.S. He has a musical style that combines hard core rap with heavy instruments and pop rhythms, thus making music that is not only unique, but also has a global appeal. This dynamic artist has also appeared in many movies. Raised in a strict religious household by a single mother, Ja Rule struggled for years to find his own religion - now he still professes to be spiritual but does not like religion. From a young age, music was everything he wanted to pursue - he never considered another career path. He started his music career with the band Cash Money Click but his dreams of making it big with the band fell apart when one of the band members went to jail. He is not someone who will give up, struggle hard and have the opportunity to provide the lyrics for one of Jay-Z's single albums. The success of this led to the release of his debut album 'Venni Vetti Vecci' which made him a one-night rap stardom.

"Right now I'm on my God flow, you know what I mean? I got Job 1:21 tattooed on my chest."
