Ja Rule recently spoke to Bloomberg and revealed that he's selling his music catalog. 

The Queen's rapper said that it's worth plenty but he'll only sell it if a certain clause is included in the paperwork.

“I’ve found out recently that my catalog is very lucrative,” said Ja. “So I’ll be looking [to cash in]. I’ve really been talking about doing a reversion deal where I would probably give up half my catalog, and it would revert back to my family ... I think it’s kinda hard to put a number on the value. Usually, the value of the music starts to go down as the artist starts to go away. The value of the music starts to depreciate.”

Other Hip Hop artists who've sold their catalog include Mannie Fresh and Iggy Azalea, who said she doesn't have to work another day in her life after the sale.
