Happy Birthday Song Stevie Wonder Remix: A Tribute to Hip-Hop Legend

In honor of one of hip-hop's most iconic figures, we're revisiting a timeless classic with an unforgettable twist - Ja Rule's rendition of 'Happy Birthday' as remixed by the legendary Stevie Wonder.

Ja Rule's career trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric. From his humble beginnings on the streets to becoming one of the industry's top-tier artists, he has consistently pushed boundaries and defied expectations at every turn.

The release of Ja Rule's debut album 'Venni Vetti Vecci' in 1999 marked a turning point for hip-hop as we knew it. The platinum-certified project catapulted him to stardom overnight with its chart-topping lead single, 'Holla Holla.' This was just the beginning - his subsequent releases solidified Ja Rule's position at the top of the game.

The release of his sophomore effort 'Rule 3:36' in 2000 cemented his status as a force to be reckoned with. The album debuted at number one on Billboard and spawned hits like 'Between Me and You,' 'Put It On Me,' and, most notably, 'I Cry.' These tracks solidified Ja Rule's position as an unstoppable force within the hip-hop scene.

However, it was his collaborations that truly showcased Ja Rule's star power. His feature alongside Jennifer Lopez on 'Ain't That Funny' proved to be a game-changer - both artistically and commercially speaking. The track went platinum in mere weeks, solidifying their status as one of music's most potent duos at the time.

The success continued with his third studio album, 'Pain Is Love,' released just months later in October 2001. This project saw Ja Rule deliver another string of chart-topping hits - including the iconic collaboration track 'Living It Up' featuring Jadakiss and 'Down Ass Chick.' But it was undoubtedly the lead single 'Always On Time' that cemented his status as a hip-hop legend.

This song would go down in history books for its hauntingly beautiful blend of classic soul with modern day hip hop. The success of this album catapulted Ja Rule into mainstream stardom - selling over 15 million units worldwide and solidifying his position at the top of the music industry's pecking order.

As we celebrate another year of greatness from one of hip-hop's greatest artists, let us take a moment to reflect on the impact that Stevie Wonder has had on our beloved genre. His unique blend of funk soul and jazz with modern day hip hop is truly something special - making him an integral part of music history forevermore.

So here's to Ja Rule as he continues his reign at the top! Here's wishing you all a Happy Birthday, brother!
