06/04: Yung Joc Makes Surprise Appearance at Northeast Washington High School Prom
This is pretty neat:
Just after 11 p.m., [Assistant Principal] Randall briefly addresses the students before giving way to a radio deejay named II Face the Wild Boy from WKYS (93.9 FM), who summons Eastern senior Jessica Jones. Having won a contest through the station, Jones has been made up and fed and driven to the prom in a classic Rolls-Royce. But wait, there's more, the jock says. Something about a date for Jones, who came to the prom without one, having shared the ride in the Rolls with her good friend Charnice Robinson. "We've got a little somethin' somethin' for you," Wild Boy says. "Make some noise for Yung Joc!" ...
And so Eastern High's 2006 senior prom will go down as the night Yung Joc (pronounced "young jock") surprised the roughly 200 promgoers when he stopped by to perform the song that currently sits atop Billboard's national R&B/hip-hop chart. ...
... Wearing a Sean John T-shirt and embroidered jeans, along with thousands of dollars' worth of diamond jewelry -- a massive diamond crucifix, a diamond-encrusted watch, a diamond tennis bracelet, a diamond ring, etc. -- Joc says he's now performed at two proms this year, and he'd gladly do more. ...
Says Harve Pierre, the general manager of Sean "Diddy" Combs's Bad Boy Records, whose new Bad Boy South imprint is releasing Joc's album: "We try to do things like this if we can. Joc likes to reach out to people and get to the fans."
It reminds of the video for It's All About The Benjamins (Rock Remix).
