Ep. 130 - Ashanti's "Foolish"

It's the 20th anniversary of Ashanti's 2002 debut single "Foolish", and self-titled debut album. She worked her way up behind-the-scenes to gain her own solo career at just 21. I discuss her music history, all of "Foolish"'s composition influences, and media achievements.

Theme Song: "Dance Track", composed by Jessica Ann Catena
