Pain Is Love 2 Songwriting Credits by Ja Rule

Pain Is Love 2 is the seventh studio album by Ja Rule, released February 28, 2012 through Mpire Music Group and Fontana Distribution. It is a direct sequel to his 2001 breakthrough Pain Is Love and remains his most recent studio album to date. The record arrived after repeated delays and came out while Ja Rule was serving a New York state sentence for criminal weapons possession, a term that ran alongside a concurrent federal sentence for tax evasion - he entered custody in 2011 and was not released until 2013. 7 Aurelius produced the bulk of the album and co-wrote nearly every track with Ja Rule, giving the record a consistent sound built around reflections on fame, loyalty, and his own downfall. Guest vocalists Leah Siegel, Anita Louise, Kalenna Harper, and others fill out the hooks across the album's 13 tracks. It debuted at number 197 on the Billboard 200 with a first-week sales figure of roughly 3,200 copies, a steep drop from his early-2000s commercial peak.
