Drake once credited himself as the “first person to rap and sing successfully.” But Hip-Hop heads know that before it was popular for a rapper to flex their vocals on a track, Ja Rule was in a league of his own. You couldn’t turn on the radio in the early 2000s without hearing a song by the Queens rapper. Many credit Ja as one of the trailblazers of Hip-Hop’s conversion to Pop music. Over 20 years in the game and the Murder Inc flagship artists’ records are still at the top of any 2000s party playlist.
