Ja Rule and Ashanti always had great chemistry.

Ja Rule is an artist who dominated the late 90s and early 2000s. Overall, he is someone who appreciated r&b and merged it with his brand of rap. Ultimately, this proved to be commercially successful, and it led to iconic tracks and albums. In 2001, he dropped Pain Is Love which is an album that is still discussed to this day. Within the tracklist are some true gems that showcase Ja's talent for songwriting and collaboration. Of course, one of the songs that still gets a ton of plays is "Always On Time," with Ashanti.

This is a classic song of that era that still stands the test of time. Although Ja Rule's career eventually fizzled out a few years after this project, the fans still remember fondly. Furthermore, the artist is thinking of making a comeback and dropping a new album. Consequently, songs like "Always On Time" are being remembered with a sense of fondness and nostalgia.

Like, the stormy nights you wrote a Dear Ja letter
And took my Benz and keyed and cut the leather
