New York - Ja Rule is to serve prison time in June in a New York City gun case.
A judge on Wednesday set a June 8 date for the platinum-selling rapper-actor's sentencing. Ja Rule's lawyer says he'll spend the intervening months finishing a new album, Renaissance Project, and taking care of tax matters.
The 35-year-old performer pleaded guilty in December to attempted weapon possession. He agreed to a two-year prison term.
Police say they found a loaded gun in a rear door of his luxury sports car when it was stopped for speeding after a July 2007 concert.
Ja Rule was nominated for a 2002 best rap album Grammy Award for Pain is Love. His movie credits include 2001's The Fast and the Furious and 2003's Scary Movie 3.
