In this VladTV Flashback from 2015, Ashanti opened up about the possibility of signing artists to her label while speaking about releasing her own projects independently. The singer admits that while she’s thought about signing artists, Ashanti says she needs to make sure that her own career is where she wants it to be.

During the conversation, Ashanti also looked back on her time at Murder Inc, and gave props to Irv Gotti for pushing her to be a great songwriter. She explained that Irv would make her battle other artists for beats, letting the one who wrote the hottest hook keep the track.
