2002: No Half Steppin'
Джимми Хенчман открыл Шариссу в ноябре 2002 года. Аяна Берд из Vibe описала её звучание как "своеобразный, вдохновлённый хип-хопом R&B, с текстами о любви, разбитом сердце и независимости"; по словам Брайса Уилсона, альбом был вдохновлён музыкой 1970-х годов. Альбом получил в основном положительные отзывы, хотя некоторые критиковали его продакшн. Он достиг 44-го места в чарте Billboard 200 16 марта 2002 года (оставаясь в чарте в течение 10 недель), седьмого места в чарте Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums Billboard и 44-го места в чарте Top Album Sales Billboard. Шарисса исполнила песни с альбома на концерте Blazin' Hip Hop and R&B в Питтсбурге 16 июня 2002 года и выпустила микстейп. Музыкальное видео на песню "Any Other Nights" рассказывало историю женщины, вернувшей себе уверенность после пренебрежения со стороны мужчины. Песня достигла 21-го места в чарте Adult R&B Songs Billboard, 23-го места в R&B/Hip Hop Airplay. Заглавный трек альбома также был выпущен в качестве сингла и продвигался с помощью видео. Он достиг 75-го места в R&B/Hip Hop Airplay и 78-го места в Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs Billboard. Третьим (и последним) синглом с альбома стала "I Can't Wait". Шарисса участвовала в записи песни "You Say Keep It Gangsta" вместе с Бутчем Кэссиди для третьего студийного альбома Уайклефа Жана, Masquerade, выпущенного 18 июня 2002 года. Певица также участвовала в записи песни The Ranjahz "Animal Life" с альбома Say What You Say в том же году. Она также сыграла роль Янеши в телевизионном фильме 2002 года "Play'd: A Hip Hop Story". Профессор социологии Джефф Харкнесс в статье 2015 года написал, что Янеша является примером архетипа "плохой девушки", которую он определил как "сексуально раскрепощённых женщин, которые подчеркивают свои физические достоинства и преуменьшают другие аспекты своей личности".
