    Ashanti and Nelly’s newly rekindled romance 20 years after it first started has us all reminiscing about the early aughts. So we obvi *need* to talk about Ashanti and how Ashanti was (and continues to be) the R&B industry’s muse. In this episode, we’ll discuss how Ashtanti beat the odds and broke through barriers to reach the top of the charts. When industry execs regarded her as merely a feature with her mesmerizing call-and-response angelic vocals, Ashanti proved to be an enduring creative, capable writer and headliner. From What’s Luv and Always On Time to Happy and Down 4 U, we discuss Ashanti’s biggest hits and when she popped!
