Deconstructed: Ashanti Breaks Down Her Hits | ASCAP Experience 2022

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of her classic self-titled debut, Ashanti pulls back the curtain on the creation of some of her all-time greatest hits, and tells us what’s next for her still-evolving career.

Put simply, Ashanti is one of the most influential voices in contemporary R&B/soul. In 2002, she became the gold standard for success in a hip-hop feature – her sultry soprano hooks propelled Fat Joe's "What's Luv?" and Ja Rule's "Always on Time" to the top of the charts. When her first solo single “Foolish” hit #1 that same year, she made history as the first female artist to occupy the top two positions on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. She’s since sent five albums into the top 10, earned a boatload of awards and parlayed her success into a fruitful acting career.
