Chapter II, the second album by 2002 hip-pop debutante Ashanti, is aimed squarely at the mainstream portion of her audience. She made her name with radio-ready duets featuring Ja Rule and Fat Joe, but Chapter II goes light on the rap, opting for only a small handful of cameos by co-producer Chink Santana. The mostly mid-tempo tracks are pleasant, but much of the album feels like an unfinished structure that'll only be fully built when the songs are remixed for the airwaves. After Ashanti's eponymously entitled debut album took the R&B world by storm, topping charts in the US, winning a Grammy and selling over 5 million copies, she had a lot to live up to in her follow on album, Chapter II. This album keeps the same fusion of bassy beats and summery soul vocals which make the music so entertainingly catchy with songs such as 'Breakup 2 Makeup' and 'The Story Of 2' particularly noticeable.

Chapter II Ashanti to stream in hi-fi, or to download in True CD Quality on Qobuz. The pictures on Ashanti's album covers mean something - not just because she's gorgeous, but because they signal in which musical direction she's heading. On her first album, she was a streamlined, diva-esque spin on Alicia Keys; on her second, she was styled like Beyoncé Knowles, the Destiny's Child leader who had released her solo debut a week before Chapter II. Ashanti is malleable like that.

Chapter II is the second studio album by American R&B singer Ashanti, released by Murder Inc. and Island Def Jam on July 1, 2003 in the United States. The album involves production by Irv Gotti and Chink Santana and features a guest appearance by Ja Rule. Chapter II spawned three singles including the Billboard Hot 100 number two song "Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)", the melodrama R&B-ballad "Rain on Me" and the Irv Gotti-produced "Breakup 2 Makeup (Remix)". Chapter II debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart in July 2003 and Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart at number one with first-week sales of 326,000 units sold. The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA on August 14, 2003 and remained on Billboard 200 album for 30 consecutive weeks. Chapter II has sold . million copies in the United States alone, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

No, Ashanti can’t sing. Her second album, Chapter II, begins with not one, but two intros, including the annoying Shany’s World, in which Chink Santana boasts not-so-cleverly for over four minutes about his hostess while she coos in the background, showing off her not-so-spectacular pipes. Shany’s voice, in fact, ranks up there with some of pop music’s finest vocal talents, including powerhouses like Paula Abdul, Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Aviance. The album’s got some great tunes ( Rain on Me, Carry On ), but they’d be better suited for someone like Mary J. Blige, whom Shany & Co. bite.
