I Gotta Habit is the debut album by Philadelphia-based, old school rapper Cool C, released in 1989. The album reached #51 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart in 1989, and had a single, "Glamorous Life," that almost cracked the Top 10 Hot Rap Singles chart that same year (reaching #11).[2]

The music video for "Glamorous Life" was rumored to have an early appearance from a then-unknown Jill Scott. However, music video director Lionel C. Martin disputed the rumor, saying "People always ask if the young girl in the video is Jill Scott, but I’m 99 percent sure that it isn’t. She never mentioned when we worked together".[3] DJ Tat Money, former DJ for fellow Philadelphia rapper Steady B, also disputed the rumor on Twitter in 2014, saying: "Short answer? Nope not her. This girl was from Jersey. Some random model chick".[4]
