Ja Rule

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&B

Ja Rule is a Contemporary R&B act. Their sound grew out of Shyne, Black Merda, Ms. Triniti, Bobby Brown and Charli Baltimore. Those roots explain a lot about how Ja Rule arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Fabolous, DMX, 50 Cent, Mase and The Game, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Matoma, Wanessa, The Lox, YFN Lucci and Christina Milian, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 64 connections around Ja Rule, reaching back through Shyne and forward to Matoma.
