- Vh1 One on One with Ashanti
VH1.com: Ashanti's only 24 years old, but she's growing up quickly. Back in 2002, she was Murder Inc.'s hook girl, using
her guileless coo to grace hits by Ja Rule and Fat Joe. But after selling six million records under her own name, she's now
a bona fide star. The perpetual grin has been replaced by a possessed snarl and a cool sexuality that's brought to the fore
in the video to "Only U," the first single from her third album Concrete Rose.With its jagged tech-&-B beat and lyrics
of undying dedication, "Only U" shows off the lioness beneath this former track star's giggly charm. She needs some of that
steel. Her career has been dogged by criticism, and Irv Gotti's The Inc. empire is under investigation for money laundering
charges. Listening to Concrete Rose, you get the feeling that, like The Godfather's Connie Corleone, Ashanti plans on surviving
the drama. Part of that game plan involves moving from record to the big screen. In January, Ashanti bows in her first major
role as the pregnant girlfriend of a high school B-ball star in Coach Carter -- and she ain't half bad. Challenges don't faze
her, either. The New Yorker went to India to sing in the Bollywood extravaganza Bride and Prejudice and she's playing Dorothy
opposite the Muppets in an upcoming TV special, A Muppet Wizard of Oz. read the full article

J. Blige-inspired blend of hip-hop beats under plush R&B vocals. The lead single "Only U" has a bass line that would make
the average rapper jealous while Ashanti promises the entire album has "a new sound, a new flavor." Get an early whiff of
Concrete Rose now on The Leak.
