Ja Rule is One Step Closer to Being Out of Prison, Let's Never Forget About Ja Rule Again
By Drew Millard
The Associated Press reports that around 9:30am today, Ja Rule was released from Mid-State Correctional Facility in Marcy, New York, after serving most of a two-year sentence for a gun charge. He was also serving out a 28-month sentence for tax evasion, and is now in a different correctional facility to serve out at least a portion of that time.

Anyways, we're psyched for anything that brings Ja one step closer to freedom makes us happy.

Though he might have had his cred single-handedly dismantled by 50 Cent back in the day, Ja Rule will never be a wanksta in our hearts. Here are some of Ja's most beloved songs of all time, fuck a deep cut:
