Ja Rule and Ashanti are back!
Ja Rule and Ashanti are preparing to make a long-awaited comeback with their new single ‘Encore’.
The pair, who dominated airwaves in the 2000s with hits such as ‘Always On Time’, ‘Mesmerize’ and ‘Down 4 U’, are back with new music.
Picking up where they left off, Ja Rule and Ashanti have continued to display their unmistakable chemistry on a 90s-inspired song they have been teasing during their live performances together.
“Don’t get me started please, I might make all these b*tches stop and freeze,” raps Ja Rule on the feel-good track.
While Ashanti handles the chorus, singing: “Your good love deserves an encore.”
Ja Rule even makes reference to JAY-Z’s classic 2003 song of the same name, rapping “Can I get an encore? Do you want more?”
After the song leaked online, fans took to social media to reveal their excitement at hearing new music from the iconic duo again.
I like the fact that Ja rule and Ashanti kept it old school on their new tune
