THE STORY OF A HIP HOP/R&B PRINCESS
Chapter II of Ashantis life is a fantasy come TRUE
By Exan Auyoung
Chapter II of Ashanti Douglass life story is unfolding magnificently. "Im so happy that Im living my life," sings Ashanti, on the track "Living My Life. ... "Living my Life describes what happened to me from the time I got my first record deal till now…and how [my] success story has changed," says Ashanti. ... Recognizing her young daughters talent, "Momma" Douglas entered Ashanti into talent shows. ... I was not really the pop chick, so I got out of the deal," says Ashanti in an Entertainment Weekly interview. ... "With the two record deals that kind of got caught by the wayside, I used those as character builders," says Ashanti. ... "
In 2001, thanks primarily to her management (Tina "Momma" Douglas and Linda Berk), Ashanti caught the attention of multi-platinum producer, Murder Inc. ... Ashanti was instantly crowned Murder Inc. ...
With five million albums under her belt, seven Billboard Awards, two American Music Awards, two Soul Train Awards, a Grammy and a BET Award for Best New Artist, Ashanti hit the studio less than a year after the release of her debut to cook up Chapter II with producer Irv Gotti and producer/rapper Chink Santana.
