Return of the Inc. - At the top of the '00s, there was no other rapper and singer duo who could do it how Ja Rule and Ashanti would on radio bangers. Back then, as the stars of Murder Inc., they were unstoppable, so it makes sense that this summer they join forces for a co-headlining tour. It’s a summer of comebacks for the pair, which means these next few tracks will also be making a comeback. These are the essential Ja Rule-Ashanti bops.
