Joelle
Joelle (also known as Joelle Amery and missjoelley; born between 1998–1999) is an English schoolgirl and pop singer from London, England. At the age of 14, she first appeared live on UK national television on the Lorraine show as an alopecia campaigner and subsequently appeared on ABC News in the United States. Joelle is also a Young Person's Ambassador for the UK charity, Alopecia UK.
Joelle was born 14 weeks prematurely, weighing 1.5 lbs and having a dismal prognosis. Alopecia was yet another medical trial for her. Before she came to accept and even embrace her condition, Joelle maintained a daily routine that included getting up at 6am to spend an hour applying false eyelashes and drawing on her eyebrows before she went to school.
Joelle's TV appearances followed the extensive press coverage that she received internationally in relation to pictures of her posing bald with her mother, Michelle Grayson. The pictures of Joelle were taken by celebrity fashion photographer Dave Wise. During the Lorraine show, Joelle told Kate Garraway about her childhood experiences coping with alopecia universalis, a rare hair loss condition with an incidence of .0005% (1 in 200,000) that has afflicted Joelle since she was 8 years old. As part of the interview, Joelle sang the lyrical excerpt "And you can turn on the morning TV and wish it was you instead of me", from her homemade music video "Big in L.A.", an amateur music video production created by her and her family, using their compact pocket holiday camera while on vacation in Los Angeles.

Hip hop skit
A hip hop skit is a form of sketch comedy that appears on a hip hop album or mixtape, and is usually written and performed by the artists themselves. Skits can appear on albums or mixtapes as individual tracks, or at the beginning or end of a song. Some skits are part of concept albums and contribute to an album's concept. Skits also occasionally appear on albums of other genres.
The hip-hop skit was more or less pioneered by De La Soul and their producer Prince Paul who incorporated many skits on their 1989 debut album 3 Feet High and Rising.
The Hip Hop Skit although dominant throughout the 90s and the early 2000s began to be phased out in the later half of the 2000s and the early 2010s. Reasons for this include the popularity of MP3 as well as the invention of the iPod Shuffle, which could only play tracks in a random order.
Writing for The AV Club, Evan Rytlewski opined that skits may have originally been in vogue because an expanded tracklisting would look more appealing to would be buyers, although he noted that their first inclusion on a De La Soul record was most likely just them being "eccentric".
