@nostalgicgiant: "Reign" (originally known as "M*rder Reigns" and also known as "The Reign") is a song by American rapper Ja Rule, released in June 2003 as the third and final single from his fourth studio album, The Last Temptation (2002). It was written by Ja Rule, 7 Aurelius and Irv Gotti and produced by the latter two. The song contains vocals from Celeste Scalone and samples "Africa" by Toto, thus crediting band members David Paich and Jeff Porcaro as co-writers. In the UK, the song was titled "Reigns" (dropping the "M*rder" in line with M*rder Inc. Records' then-rebrand to The Inc. Records and released as a double A-side with "Clap Back", the first single from Ja Rule's 2003 album Blood in My Eye. The song's music video dramatizes the January 2003 raid of M*rder Inc. Records' offices in New York City by the FBI over the label's connections to drug lord Kenneth McGriff. It contains a cameo by Patrick Swayze as one of the FBI officers. The video also depicts a trial in which Irv Gotti and M*rder Inc. are exonerated by a jury. #jarule #thereign #reign #rapper #rap #celestescalone #2000s #patrickswayze
