Ja Rule has answered his calling. It's the club-friendly beat, the R&B hook and sing-songy, rough-edged vocals that seem to work for Ja. So he's sticking with it. With the backing of Murder Inc. label head (and this album's producer) Irv Gotti, Ja Rule picks up right where he left off with PAIN IS LOVE. Teaming up with the rhythmic crooner Case, Ja Rule reinterprets the Stevie Wonder classic "Do I Do" into the rap jam of 2001, "Livin' it Up." The album also features J. Lo's remix of "I'm Real," which Ja Rule helped turn into a hit. Missy Elliott drops in a verse on "Ex," and with the help of modern technology, Tupac lives on "So Much Pain." For Ja Rule, his pain means a lot more than love, it means success too.
