Laiya’s World: Jill Scott Takes Her Rec And Her City Back
Laiya’s World:
Jill Scott Takes Her Rec And Her City Back
Jill Scott takes her rec and her city back—and brings some Philly friends along the way.
Excuse my lateness, because as much as I love me some Jill in all kinds of ways--I should never be late on Jill Scott news and exclusives. I mean, we go back like….
Jill’s childhood recreation center:
When Jill got word that her childhood recreation center would be closing, she took action. She and her foundation, Blues Babe, paid for repairs on the rec center to keep it from closing.
Jill’s music video:
Biggups to Jill for always digging into her Philly pool for talent before she goes anywhere else. She even brought Eve back to her home, North Philly! I hear that my other homie Tiffany Bacon (Philly radio personality and theater entrepreneur) helped with casting dancers, and another Philly homie, Devin Hampton directed! And, I love Jill for unconsciously putting together some of Philly's finest MCs for her video shoot because you know we had to get a cypher going on. Check out Meek Mills, Ms Jade, Peedi Peedi, Dice Raw and your favorite MCs favorite MC, Philly 360° Creative Ambassador Black Thought of The Roots.
