Jill Scott
If you enjoy good early 70s soul, you've probably heard of Jill Scott. She sings prose with a modern slant, over retro beats. Don't talk to me about "neo-soul." This is an old formula; Jill just took it home and made it better. Here is the single from her Y2K debut album, and her track from the fabulous The Roots Come Alive. Erykah Badu mangles the chorus on the album version of "You Got Me," written originally by Scott. Who is Mike Jones? Nigga please.
