Ironically, as Prodigy comes out, another Queens representative is slated to go in for the same offense.

Ja Rule is expected to be sentenced to two years on Wednesday (March 9th), for a gun possession charge stemming from an incident in July of 2007, in which police found a loaded handgun in the side door panel of his Maybach.
