Rebecca "Holly Hood" Scott was born in Harlem in New York City. She wrote her first book at 10-years old; it was a collection of “mother” jokes. Prior to becoming a published author, Rebecca worked 25+ years in the hip-hop music industry.
Professional Background
Rebecca “Holly Hood” Scott was introduced to the Hip-Hop music industry through the great Harry Belafonte who gave her a job as a dancer in the early Hip-Hop movie, Beat Street (1984).
In the mid-Eighties, she competed against The Fat Boys for a record contract in Tin Pan Apple’s talent show at the renowned Fever skate club in the Bronx.
By the mid-Nineties, Rebecca was managing her first hip-hop act, Main Source, a rap group from Canada who made the chart-topping ballad rap, "Looking at the Front Door." Over the years she has worked with such big name record labels as BMG Records, Atlantic Records, Jive Records, Nervous Records, East/West Records, Tommy Boy Records EMI and Universal Records.
In addition, she has worked with such Hip-Hop luminaries as famed Hip-Hop lawyer Bob Celestin, entrepreneur P. Diddy, Film Director George Tan, Planet Studios, Hip-Hop pioneer Sal Abbatiello, Hip-Hop Impresario Russell Simmons, rapper/actor Flavor Flav, Tupac Shakur, Universal President Sylvia Rhone and others. As CEO of Great Scott Management, she represented dancehall artist, Mad Lion and rapper, KRS-1. In 1997, she collaborated with film director George Tan to bring Tupac Shakur’s story to the screen via the documentary, “Thug Immortal”.
In fact, Rebecca’s impetus to delve into the secret societies that run the entertainment business was piqued by Tupac’s last album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.
In 2010, Rebecca received Divine instruction to write Hip-Hop Illuminati: How and Why the Illuminati Took Over Hip Hop. This would become the first of over 35 books she has written to date.
An inexhaustible writer, historian, poet, singer, chess player, percussionist, cellist and a compassionate friend and advocate of children, animals and the downtrodden. Rebecca lives in New York City.
