"New York" is a 2004 single by rapper Ja Rule, featuring Fat Joe and Jadakiss, from his album R.U.L.E.. The track was produced by Cool & Dre, and the chorus is based around Boogie Down Productions' 1990 song, "100 Guns" The song peaked at #27 on the US Hot 100 chart, #14 on U.S. R&B and Hip-Hop, and #10 on Hot Rap Tracks.
Cool & Dre produced the track for rapper Fat Joe, who turned it down initially. Jadakiss was said to be interested in the track but Ja Rule grabbed it almost immediately. When Irv Gotti learned of the history behind who was to have the track, he mentioned it to Ja Rule, and then they offered for both Fat Joe and Jadakiss to be featured on the track.
50 Cent attacked Fat Joe and Jadakiss for doing this song in his 2005 song "Piggy Bank". There is a sequel to the song, "New York is Back" in DJ Khaled's Album, We The Best. 50 Cent and his group G-Unit were dissed in the song by Ja Rule in the first verse off the song. The bars that dissed them were:
"Your Print distrified, you're no longer desired,
So take off them silly chains, put back on your wire,
I'm on fire!"...
