Jill Scott: Hip-Hop Artist in New York

About Jill Scott

Jill Scott is an American singer, songwriter, poet, and actress whose work sits at the meeting point of R&B, hip-hop, and spoken word. She broke through around the turn of the 2000s with a platinum-selling debut and followed it with two subsequent albums that reached gold status. Scott’s writing foregrounds voice and narrative, often treating the song as a scene with dialogue and reflection. At Kings Theatre in New York City, her “To Whom This May Concern Tour” brings that text-forward approach into a room built for close listening.
