Discovered by none other than ?uestlove, spoken word artist Jill Scott made her musical debut in 2000, when she dropped Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1 at the height of the neo-soul era.

That being said, the song that stirs my drink is the dreamy poetry of A long walk. Over the years, I’ve plugged this song to as many people as possible, so here’s the stripped down remix by Jazzy Jeff. Enjoy.
