◇ image via WikipediaAshanti
Ashanti is a Contemporary R&B and Pop act. Their sound grew out of DeBarge, Elton John, Solange Knowles, Ja Rule and Irv Gotti. Those roots explain a lot about how Ashanti arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Aaliyah, Ciara, Mary J. Blige, Nivea and LeToya, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Fat Joe, Ja Rule, Jennifer Lopez, Big Pun and R. Kelly, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 66 connections around Ashanti, reaching back through DeBarge and forward to Fat Joe.
