FEATURE BITZ






St Louis bred rapper and entrepreneur Chingy is back on deck.  This month, he has been on a promotional windfall with projects that are both released and forthcoming.





One of his projects is not music—but as an endorser of the premiere vodka,  Shpilka Vodka (shpilka is Russian for “stiletto heel’). He’s been product placing the liquor on a commercial that is currently seen on Youtube, filmed by Remrod.




Along with being an endorser, under his label Slot-A-Lot Records/Full Dekk Music Group, he just released the single, “I’m Here” from his upcoming mixtape, “Chances Make Champions” that will be released Oct 31. This week, he along with his protégé Solo performed the single on Fox 2 Morning Show in St Louis (with a bottle of Shpilka placed on a table).

Chingy also will be making appearances at two upcoming events promoting his music and the vodka. On Oct 27, he will be performing at the Aspen Bar and Lounge in O’Fallon , Ill.  for a Halloween party and Oct 28, at the Coco Cabana in the Central West End.






Just last month, he was in concert in Guam where he also visited several schools.

Congratualtions to STL based singer Tiffany Elle who was voted to open up for Chicago native singer and R&B Divas star Syleena Johnson’s Acoustic Soul tour. Elle was one of four finalists who was vying for a spot (she actually tied with  New England’s T-Soul ) in the competition that was conducted by Johnson that ran Aug 27 to Sept 28 with the release of her online album, Acoustic Soul Sessions.  

Contestants had to submit a video of all original music and all acoustic instrumentation and each week one contestant was selected by Johnson. On October 1st a total of 4 finalists was announced on Johnson’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

Polls were then  open where fans voted for their favorite contestant through October 8th at www.pollcode.com and Johnson announcing the winner.

On her Facebook page Elle said, “I can't say thank you enough to all of my friends and family and even people I didn't know!!...for having my back throughout this competition. The love and support that my city has shown me is completely unreal. You all made it possible for me to be able to participate in a wonderful opportunity. I couldn't have done it without ALL OF YOU!!! You all represented sooo hard for me. And for that, I am eternally grateful.”

This week we spotted two STL personalities this week. The first is fashionista Joni Marie Ross who wore a gold top, belt, and black fitted capris at Project Design at St Louis Science Center Exploradome this week. She is also a designer of  her line J Marie which will be featured in her upcoming show Nov 4  at The Paragon. The dapper dan is Dwaine Jones aka Truallred. A Mccluer North alum, he sported a red vest and tie with black shirt and pants and shined shoes at a wedding he attended recently. This hood star who gets his fitness on at Snap fitness in the Central West End also rocked the shades and well groomed locks.




Which pop singer came to St Louis recently just to visit a rock pioneer ? The pop singer is a female who had a huge #1 hit in the 1990s that was a cover written by a 1980s pop superstar and who was famous for her "lack of locks." The rock pioneer has a statue that was erected last year and performs at a venue in the Central West every month. Who are the pop singer and who is the rock pioneer?

AT THE VP DEBATE: Why did Paul Ryan drink all that water? Why was Ryan working his neck when he spoke? Why didnt Ryan say anything about the Romney plan? Why did the spin doctors say that Joe Biden was rude to Ryan? And why wasnt there a laugh track used for this debate? LOL










OTHER WHY'Z.  Why are folk attacking actress Stacey Dash for supporting Mitt Romney? And why is she on news shows talking about this? Why did Jerry Sandusky’s letter to the media make it seem like he was the victim? Why are folk not liking Jay Pharoah’s version of impersonating Barack Obama on Saturday Night Live? Why isn’t it surprising Chris Brown got back with Rihanna?  And Why is it hard to take Tyler Perry seriously as an action hero?
