THREE PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS INCLUDE NEW TITLE TUNE SINGLE, EXODUS, AND ME 19 tracks spanning 1999-2005, heavy on the hits and collaborations Holla Holla, Put It on Me, I Cry, Livin it Up, Always On Time, Thug Lovin, Mesmerize, New York, Wonderful and more!
(Nov. 29, 2005 New York, NY) Straight outta Hollis, multi-platinum The Inc./Def Jam recording artist and certified box office sensation Ja Rule has been at the epicenter of hardcore hip-hops entry into the mainstream over the last half-dozen tumultuous years. Ja Rules long-distance run is collected for the first time in his career on his 7th album, EXODUS, a newly-compiled 19-track anthology spanning 1999-2005, scheduled for December 6th release.
The title tunes Exodus (Intro) and Exodus (Outro) new, previously unreleased tracks (co-written by Ja Rule and produced by Seven Aurelius for 7th Sign & Irv Gotti for Top Dawg Productions, Inc.) open and close the album. EXODUS includes a third previously unreleased track, Me (co-written by Ja Rule and produced by Arizona Slim and Irv Gotti for Top Dawg Productions, Inc.).
At the heart of EXODUS are the hit singles and tracks covering every year of Ja Rules success starting with Holla Holla, his first breakthrough #2 Rap single of 1999, and Put It on Me (feat. Vita), his first #1 entry on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart the following year. Over the next four years, Ja Rule amassed an astounding track record of collaborations with the biggest names in pop, R&B and hip-hop as he rode the top of the charts with (among others) I Cry (featuring Lil Mo), Livin it Up (featuring Case), Always On Time (featuring Ashanti), Thug Lovin (featuring Bobby Brown), Mesmerize (featuring Ashanti), New York (featuring Fat Joe & Jadakiss), and Wonderful (featuring R. Kelly & Ashanti). Other guests include DMX & Jay-Z (on Its Murda); J-Lo & Caddillac Tah (on Aint It Funny); and Ron Isley aka Mr. Biggs (on Daddys Little Baby)
With U.S. sales of his first six albums Venni, Vetti, Vecci (1999), Rule 3:36 (2000), Pain Is Love (2001), The Last Temptation (2002), Blood in My Eye (2003), and R.U.L.E. (2004) in excess of 10 million units, and worldwide sales topping the 13 million mark, Ja Rule has established his imprint in the hip-hop, pop and R&B hierarchy. Adding to his roles as recording artist, businessman (founder of The Inc, FocusVision film company, and the Mojito liquor company launching next year), fashion designer (his Erving Geoffrey premium Urban wear line), philanthropist and political activist (his L.I.F.E. Foundation programs) Ja Rule has also established a successful career in film.
His screen credits began in 2000 with Robert Adetuyi's Turn It Up, and include such hits as Rob Cohen's blockbuster The Fast and The Furious in 2001, Don Michael Paul's Half Past Dead with Steven Segal in 2002, David Zucker's smash Scary Movie 3 with the Wayans brothers in 2003, and the back-to-back hits in 2004, The Cookout (with Queen Latifah) and Shall We Dance (with Richard Gere). Ja Rules 10th movie, Assault On Precinct 13, which opened January 2005, starred Ethan Hawke, Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo, Maria Bello, Drea de Matteo, and Gabriel Byrne.
