… Ms. Jill Scott representing North Philly!  I first heard of Jill Scott on “You Got Me” from The Roots’ “Come Alive” album.  My freshman year at Howard she dropped “Who Is Jill Scott, Vol 1″ album, and I’ve been a fan ever since.  I’ve now seen her in concert four times with a unique experience each time.  I love  artists who excel in live performances, and Jill always takes it to the next level.

Midway through the show she switched it up and put a wig on…

Kem was one of three opening acts.  Admittedly, I don’t know his music beyond his radio hits, but I would definitely see him in concert again.

I attended the 4th Annual Silver Spring Blues Festival a couple weeks ago.  I’ll post some video soon!

Michael Jackson is one of the few artists that I like all of his songs so it’s hard to pick my favorites.  But here are my top five in no particular order.  Feel free to add your favorite MJ songs in the comments.

• P.Y.T.
• Don’t Stop Until You Get Enough
• Rock With You
• I Can’t Help It
• Man In the Mirror

Today is the first day of summer, and I wish I was at the beach right now.
