Game reunites with Ja Rule for "Jump Off"

When he first made his mainstream debut, Game was one of the biggest rivals of Ja Rule. But, as he solidified his position in the rap game, his true enemy was revealed to be 50 Cent. For the past five years, he and 50 Cent have been trading disses. Once it was clear that he and 50 would never reconcile, Game built a relationship with Ja Rule, Irv Gotti and Murder Inc. Records. For the past four years, they have all been good friends.

In 2006, Game released his hit single, "One Blood," on the remix, he featured almost every rapper in the game. The surprise guest of the remix was Ja Rule. The following year, Rule had planned to release his album, The Mirror. Had things gone as planned, his West Coast homage song, "Sunset," which featured Game, would have been the third single off of the album.

Irv Gotti has been trying to rebuild his label with new releases from Ja Rule and through a new artist, Newz. In an effort to help Newz gain exposure, Game recorded a track with him that appeared on L.A.X. The final single released from that album was "Nice," which was produced by Irv Gotti and featured Newz. A few months later, Rick Ross began feuding with 50 Cent and Game offered to help him out. Game did more than help out when he recruited Fat Joe and Ja Rule to help them diss 50 Cent on "Mafia Music (remix)." Ja Rule and Game have a history of helping each other out when they need it.

With his album coming in a few weeks, Game needs a single. Over five years ago, Ja Rule was a hitmaker and his style is still appealing to some. Today, Game leaked a song from his new album The R.E.D. Album, the song is called "Jump Off" and it features a hook from Ja Rule. This has become the fourth collaboration to take place between Ja Rule and Game. Game plans to release The R.E.D. Album on March 23, 2010 and Ja Rule plans to release Venni Vetti Vecci 2010 in June 2010. Both rappers plan to release another album later on in the year, too.
