Ja Rule's Pain Is Love 2 album is being pushed back. The rapper was supposed to drop the project on June 7th, the day before he begins serving a two year prison sentence for weapons possession. But that plan has been scrapped.

“The plan changed mostly because of the level and quality of the records we were making,” producer 7 Aurelius told MIO. “We have exhausted every possible way to have it available on iTunes for pre-order on the 7th. The main issue is that Fontana needs the album turned in before they will release a date, or even start their process which is normally sixty days for digital and hard copy.”

“Me and Rule have to capture all the magic around us until he goes in, otherwise we are doing an injustice to his fans,” he continued, calling the LP his “most provocative and his most personal album to date.” “If we had stopped in April just to be able to turn it in to Fontana for a June 7 date, PIL2 would not be what it is now. They have acknowledged that because it’s Ja Rule, they will give it a fast track release once it is turned in and that would be digital and hard copy."

“You can’t rush art,” added 7. “Be patient and stay positive. We will not disappoint.”
