Unruly is a remarkable look at someone I consider a dear friend.” (Queen Latifah)“It takes a big man to share his entire life, inside and out, and especially the things he’s not proud of. I’ve known Ja forever and I’ve always seen his greatness, but Unruly is truly special.” (Irv Gotti)“I am so impressed that Ja is willing to share his pain with the world in the hope of preventing others from making the same mistakes. His struggles have been many, but he’s come out stronger for them. This is a book of raw wisdom and hope.” (Russell Simmons)“Ja Rule’s candid, unvarnished view of guns, drugs, depression, fame, lust, love, and family makes this a remarkable memoir and a worthy read.” (Publishers Weekly) . “I’ve known Ja for years, and yet reading this book made me feel like I was meeting a new man
