    About This Event

    The 103.5 KTU Concert at Hammerstein Ballroom brings together several New York‑linked R&B and hip‑hop acts: Ashanti, Flo Rida, Nina Sky, Shaggy and Paul Russell. Ashanti's catalog of writerly hooks, Nina Sky's bilingual club rhythms and Flo Rida's high‑tempo, hook‑driven rap underline the evening's emphasis on concise, radio‑ready songs; Shaggy is billed for his pop‑reggae hits.

    Ashanti

    Ashanti

    r&b

    Ashanti is a Hip-Hop/R&B vocalist whose early-2000s breakout work was shaped in part by recording sessions split between New York City and Los Angeles, following a period of writing for other artists. Her songs lean on precise, conversational hooks and a clean melodic line rather than vocal fireworks.
