About
The Bronx-born Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas — the voice of the early-2000s Murder Inc. era and one of the most quietly consequential R&B-rap crossovers of her decade. The hook on Ja Rule's 'Always on Time' and 'What's Luv?' (Fat Joe) put her on the radar; the self-titled 'Ashanti' (2002) debuted at #1 with first-week sales nobody had pulled off in years. 'Foolish,' 'Happy,' 'Rock wit U (Awww Baby)' — that cardigan-and-curls Fordham aesthetic defined R&B-rap circa 2002 and the Murder Inc. legal drama could never quite take it down.
