Blood in My Eye is the fifth studio album by rapper Ja Rule released in 2003. The album was originally planned to be a mixtape. The release of the album took place during the feud with Shady/Aftermath rappers 50 Cent, G-Unit, Eminem, D12, Dr. Dre Obie Trice, DMX and Busta Rhymes and was entirely dedicated to dissing them. The album was named after George Jackson's radical book of the same name. Hussein Fatal of Outlawz, Cadillac Tah, James Gotti, Sizzla, Black Child, Young Merc & D.O. Cannon, Shadow, and Sekou 720 are featured on this album. Blood in My Eye debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 139,000 copies.[6]
