Ashanti News

Apparently, Irv Gotti has dropped Ashanti from the label. Unfortunately, Irv Gotti was stupid to make that decision however if he didn't, Ashanti would had been better to leave. Murder Inc. is starting to suck because they sound the same over and over. And that was kinda hurting Ashanti especially after the release "The Declaration" which hardly went gold. With another label, Ashanti will definitely be better off with make more sells.

The Declaration of Ashanti or Not?

After the release of Ashanti's album "The Declaration" should she really be moving on to the next album. As usual with Ashanti, she only release 2 to 3 singles off an album and then that's it. With songs like "So Over You", "Struggle", "The Declaration", and "Your Gonna Miss" which should have become singles. Singles are meant to boost your album's rating, promotion, and fan's satisfaction. However the singles coming from the album were "The Way I Love You" and fan voted single "Good Good". In my opinion, another single should be released before moving on with another album.

Ashanti - Crime

Another leftover from Ashanti's "The Declaration" album.

Ashanti on MTV's Top Pop Group

Ashanti made an appearance on show, as one of mentors/coaches for the groups. She gave advice on what people should when performing in front of an live audience.

Ashanti - The Vault

Ring the alarm. The Vault is being opened. It holds 12 never-before-released recordings from Grammy Award-winning, platinum-selling R&B songstress Ashanti. The Vault will be released October 14th by AJM Records.The Vault contains vocal recordings penned by Ashanti in 2001 while signed exclusively to AJM Records. This composite of work was completed before AJM's joint venture with Murder Inc/Def Jam in 2002.

Top notch producers added the finishing touches to The Vault, including 15-year-old producing wunderkind Miguel "Migs" Baeza. Migs produced the first single set to drop from The Vault, "Let's Do Something Crazy" http://www.zshare.net/audio/18993316777376f5/.For the cut, Migs brought in hip-hop superstar Flo-Rida to drop a few rhymes, making "Let's Do Something Crazy" a sure hit. "Although the track is not like any other Ashanti song heard before, I tried to please her already established fan base by maintaining the classic Ashanti style while at the same time indulging a new audience with an upbeat, exciting feel on this upcoming single," says Migs. Migs also worked his magic on the irresistible "Satisfy," another track from The Vault. Other producers on the album include Kidd Kold, AJM's in-house producer who is responsible for the 2nd single "Imagine" http://www.zshare.net/audio/18993663bae6140c/.

Kidd has produced 8 tracks on The Vault and has worked with DMX and Foxy Brown. Additional producers include Nocko, Steven White and Kenny Flav. Nocko is no stranger to hit makers. He has worked with countless top artists like Mary J. Blige, T.I., Trina, Lil Mo, Monica, Teddy Riley, Ludacris, Nelly and Rick Ross. This dream team of producers has turned The Vault into a must have treasure.Get ready to discover the treasure of Ashanti: The Vault. Its musical gems are priceless recordings.

Oh, so everyone will know, "Let's Do Something Crazy" is the same song as "All My" except it has a different beat. I love the song "Imagine", whatever album this song was leftover some had to have been crazy.

Ashanti's Next Single "So Over You"

Should Ashanti's next single be "So Over You". She got a lot of good songs on her "The Declaration" album, but still "So Over You" sounds more accurate for the radio. Now songs like "Struggle", "Mother", "Your Gonna Miss", and "The Declaration" should follow up as the album's last singles.
