The past six years have not been easy on Ja Rule. Ever since 2004, he has been trying to return to the top of the game. His comeback has taken so long that it is actually longer than his active career. Still determined to break back into the game, Ja Rule has decided to take things back a bit.

On his 2007 album, The Mirror, Ja Rule did everything but call his former duet partner, Ashanti, out by name. Two years later, he reunited with her. Later in the year, Rule also reunited with DMX. It was big for the black community when these former collaborators reunited, but one person was missing.

When Ashanti was signed to Murder Inc., there was no reason for the label to work with Lil' Mo. Despite her friendship with the label, Mo was signed to Elektra Records. Lil' Mo found all of her recordings on the Pain is Love album scrapped in favor of recordings with Ashanti. Following her less-than-friendly reaction, Ja Rule dissed Lil' Mo and she sided with 50 Cent during his downfall.

Older and wiser, Ja Rule has done wonders in rebuilding bridges he burned in the past. Ja Rule has made peace with Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Ashanti, DMX, Dr. Dre, and now Lil' Mo. Rule hopes all of these new friends will eventually help him out. Later this year, Ja Rule hopes to release his eighth studio album, Rule York. Unlike his previous seven releases, this album will be released through his own Mpire label with little imput from Irv Gotti and Murder Inc.

Outside of the music, Ja Rule recently took to the streets of Garfield, New Jersey to star in the independent crime film, Goats. The film is about a man (Ja Rule) who makes a wrong decision that follows him for life. The film was directed by Paul Borghese and will be released early next year.
