ASHANTI Vinyl Records and CDs

An R&B singer down with Murder Inc., Ashanti's big break came singing the hook to Ja Rule's 2002 mega-hit "Always On Time," which dominated the airwaves for months. That was soon followed by the success of "What's Luv" with Fat Joe and her debut solo single "Foolish," which recycles the classic beat from Biggie's "One More Chance/Stay With Me." Her first album, Ashanti, hit the scene in early April 2002, cementing her role as one of R&B's brightest new stars.
