After US rap star Ja Rule revealed he once worked with a Ghanaian artiste whose name he could not recollect, a video of him recording with rap star Tinny has appeared on the internet.

The track, Good Time Rules, was recorded during Tinny’s peak season in the late 2000s when he had megahits like Makola Kwakwe, Ringtone and Zingolo.

In a 2015 YFM interview, he explained he could not release the track even though he had it on him.

“I did that record when I was with this record label called Maddhaus Entertainment, so they own that record. Everything is with them, and they will decide whether to release it or not,” Tinny said.

“Ja Rule came to Ghana, and the management met him, played him some of my records, and he loved them. He said, ‘Let’s do a song together’. That was when Richie of Lynx Entertainment was coming up. We brought the data to Maddhaus studio and did it. It’s called Good Time Rules. I have it, but I don’t own it, so I wouldn’t want to drop it. But you know, I’ve moved on.”

Star record producer and singer Morris Babyface has also shared a snippet of a 2009 track he had with Ja Rule titled Hey Love, and how the collaboration happened.

“I went to UBeats and then he gave me Ja Rule’s vocals. I brought it to Kumasi, did a whole programming, and then did the singing as well. I made sure to fit Ja Rule’s rap into the song. But I actually didn’t release it,” he told Hitz FM on April 3, 2025.
