Ashanti
Murder Inc records introduced Ashanti to the world when she was featured on Ja's song "Always on Time." Before the single was released, Ashanti was writing hooks and songs for other R&B and Hip-Hop artists. "Always on Time" was an international hit and Ashanti's claim to fame was launched from this song. The song was also Ja's first number one single on the Billboard Top 100. Ashanti continued to work with her "big brother" on many records including, "What's Luv," featuring Fat Joe, "Down For You," featuring Charli Baltimore and Vita, "Wonderful," ft. R. Kelly, "Mesmerize," and "Leaving (Always on Time Part II)," from her self-titled debut album.
