The next project he was involved in was also a runaway commercial success. Irv Gotti Presents Murderers, released under the Murderers moniker, featured contributions from Ja Rule, producer Gotti, Jay-Z, DMX, and several of Murder Inc's up-and-coming new rappers. Like most rap artists, Ja Rule has also developed a parallel acting career, making his movie debut alongside Pras in Robert Adetuyi's Turn It Up. His sophomore album, Rule 3:36, was recorded in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, which, despite lacking some of the rawness of his debut, went straight to the top of the US album chart in October 2000.
Then his next album Pain Is Love released in October 2001. Featuring radio and chart-friendly hits like "Livin' It Up" (w/R&B singer Case) and "Always On Time" (w/Ashanti) this album got Ja Rule into the mainstream, and declaring him as one of the most popular rappers in the world.
Then in late 2002, Ja Rule released The Last Temptation, which has a more thuggish approach, in an attempt to regain his street credibility since he went "pop" with his previous album. Features the smash hit, "Thug Lovin", with legendary singer Bobby Brown. Blood In My Eye released in November 2003, then R.U.L.E. a year later.
