Blood in My Eye Songwriting Credits by Ja Rule

Ja Rule writes his own material throughout Blood in My Eye, co-credited track by track with Irv Gotti and whichever producer built the beat, the same pattern that runs across his catalog. What sets this record apart is how many of its credits come from outside samples rather than new collaborators: 'Blood in My Eye' interpolates War's 'Slippin' Into Darkness,' pulling in the band's full songwriting lineup, 'The Crown' folds in Sizzla's 'Solid as a Rock,' and 'The Inc Is Back' and 'Remo' draw on a Lox/Swizz Beatz writing credit, likely tied to a track built around Swizz Beatz's production. 'The Wrap (Freestyle)' closes the album on a Mobb Deep sample, crediting Prodigy, Havoc, and Big Noyd alongside Ja Rule. Guest voices from Murder Inc.'s own roster, Hussein Fatal, Cadillac Tah, James Gotti, Black Child, Young Merc, D.O. Cannon, Sekou 720, and Shadow, are also credited as co-writers on the tracks they appear on, consistent with how Murder Inc. albums typically split verse credit among everyone on the song.
