Ashanti: Hip-Hop Artist in New York

About Ashanti

Ashanti is an R&B and hip-hop singer whose early work was shaped by time spent writing for other artists, a craft that shows in her tight, hook-forward songs. Her debut album arrived in 2002 through Murder Inc. and Def Jam, built with a roster of producers and guest collaborators tied to the era’s New York studio circuit. In New York City, she brings that catalog to the Hammerstein Ballroom for the 103.5 KTU Concert alongside Flo Rida, Shaggy, Paul Russell, and Nina Sky. Her performances favor clarity over spectacle.
