The next video we'll see in support of [Jadakiss]' Kiss of Death LP is "U Make Me Wanna," which features Mariah Carey. The video should be going into production soon, according to the Black Babe Ruth. "I'm supposed to be shooting the me-and-Mariah joint," Mr. Raspy said. "I might do [a split video] like I did for 'Knock Yourself Out' and 'We Gonna Make It.' I might do the Mariah joint and 'By Your Side' at the end, give them a verse. ['U Make Me Wanna'] is gonna be real sexy, though, a little out of my element. That's how I want all my videos from this album to be. 'Why' hit you from left field. I just want it to be one of them joints; big house, big car, one of them videos the ladies like. This is strictly for the ladies, to get me over that hump. I understand the business." Jada is currently on the road as part of the Pepsi Smash Tour with Jagged Edge and Fabolous. Source: VH1

Fresh Air Fund campers were playing a hillside game of tag when, just before sunset, a black Mercedes limousine emerged from the woods and rolled to a stop. The children froze. A car door opened. Then came a collective, ear-splitting scream: "Mah-ri-ah!" Mariah Carey, who donated $1 million to the Fresh Air Fund in 1995 and has a camp named in her honor, was walking up the grassy slope in open-toed heels, a cropped top and jean shorts with the words "Automatic Princess" across the back. "What are we playing?" Ms. Carey asked as the young residents of Camp Mariah engulfed her, fingering her long, crimped hair, reaching their arms around her bare waist and taking turns balancing her sunglasses on their noses. They stood there in the dying light, speaking in hushed tones, occasionally erupting into laughter, as if sharing secrets at a sleepover party. The octave-scaling voice that Ms. Carey shows off in songs like "Hero" and "Emotions" was husky and low as she responded to a flurry of questions about her music and her life. When their patter subsided and the game of tag resumed, Ms. Carey joined right in, slipping out of her high heels and running barefoot through the grass. She is a swift runner. As a teenager she sprinted toward a Grammy Award-winning future, secure, she said, in herself and her talent. She was also running from something. "I knew I didn't want to be where I was," Ms. Carey said while taking a break from the evening's activities in the camp director's cabin. "I knew that I needed to elevate myself in terms of just living. You know what I mean? Just having the life that I wanted to live. I didn't want to open the refrigerator and not have food. I didn't want to feel like the kid with the holes in her sneakers." While shabby shoes are no longer a concern, Ms. Carey still identifies with Fresh Air Fund children because, like them, she grew up poor with big dreams. Fittingly, Camp Mariah, one of five Fresh Air Fund camps in Fishkill for children from New York City, is a career awareness camp, where work can turn dreams into reality. Over the course of three years, campers from 12 to 14 explore career paths and attend classes including journalism, photography, television and video production. There are also events in New York City during the school year, including a career fair and visits to successful companies. It is the kind of camp Ms. Carey said she wished she could have attended. Instead, she went to a publicly funded camp, which she called horrible. She also attended a performing arts camp, for which her family had to "scrape together" money. But Ms. Carey said she believed that hardship could be a source of motivation. "Obviously music was my love," Ms. Carey said, "But I think I
worked twice as hard as a lot of people who maybe had the same dreams but they had it a little easier so they weren't as driven." For more than 125 years, the Fresh Air Fund has been providing city children with vacations at upstate camps and with host families in the Northeast and Canada. "People say their lives were completely changed, just by going up to a host family or to different camps," Ms. Carey said. "They say that before, they had never seen trees and grass and lakes or anything like that. Just that experience in and of itself is amazing, that you can just lie out and look at the stars." The only star the children were gazing at that night, however, was Ms. Carey. "I love her so much, it's not even funny," said Britnee Jackson, 12, of Queens. "I think she's so gorgeous. Some people you meet in person and they act conceited. She wasn't. She gave us hugs. She was very kind." Michael Mitchell, 13, of Harlem, agreed. "She's a great influence on children," he said. "She gave me a hug and said, 'Good luck in the future.' I'm going to take that and write it on my socks." It was after 9 p.m. when Britnee, Michael and other campers gave Ms. Carey the final hugs and high fives of the evening in the dining hall. "Have the best summer of your lives," she said. "And lots of love to you all." Families who would like to open their homes to Fresh Air Fund children or register children for a summer vacation can call (800) 367-0003. Tax-deductible contributions to the fund can be made through its Web site, www.freshair.org. They can also be sent to the Fresh Air Fund, 633 Third Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017.
