St Louis native rap artist Tef Poe aka Kareem Jackson is on the verge of blowing up the scene nationally. Recently, he had the opportunity to compete in BET’s 8th Annual A3C Hip Hop Festival   where he advanced to the Semi Finals that was held last week in Atlanta.


Poe, who currently lives in Los Angeles,,  talked about his experience at the battle recently on his Facebook page:

If I ever needed confirmation on my talent tonight I got it...the BET A3C battle...Semi Finals ...crowd chanting my name...Dougie Fresh approached me after the battle and called me the best rapper in the room hands down ...gave me some freestyle pointers about controlling my adrenaline...the judges were Termanology, Skyzoo, and Gangster Pill, Skyzoo chopped it up w/me.






After the battle..him (Skyzoo) and Dougie Fresh both gave me mad props tonight...I'm sitting backstage talking to Dougie Fresh listening to him tell me how to hone my talent and control it ....the BET talent scouts were overly impressed..we gotta long way to go but we're on our way.....put my neck on the line for the city tonight and it paid off..mission accomplished..I'm humbled and excited..thanks be to the universe and everything that is righteous in this world!!

The winner will be invited to New York City to compete on 106 & Park's famous Freestyle Friday battle.


Poe has commanded large crowds opening for Chicago’s Lupe Fiasco and has been featured on major hip hop sites such as TheSource.com,ThisIs50.com, XXLMag.com, The Smoking Section, SOHH.com, RawRoots.comand several more.

This week we feature fashionista/model/podcast host Paris Caldwell and "Welcome to Sweetie Pies" star Jr Dot. Caldwell was rocking an 80s influenced club outfit with the leather jacket, purple tank, leggins and sparkly heels (and the sparkly tie and bracelet was a nice touch). Jr Dot kept it funky casual with the blazer, scarf and ice washed jeans. In this pic, Caldwell was celebrating her bday with a fashion show and Jr Dot hosted. It took place at The Coliseum in Midtown St Louis.

 Which two STL personalities were spotted recently at Golds Gym in Florissant? Both are male. One is an event promoter who does weekly events with a rapper who gets part of his moniker from a city in Nevada and the other is a popular comedian whose first name is also fragrance brand. Who are these personalities?

Why was Romney backtracking each time he spoke? Why did they have the black guy ask the black question? Why weren’t there any people of color there? Why did Romney speak against China  and he outsources jobs there? Why did Romney keep interrupting Obama when he tried answering questions? And why did one of Romney’s son say to the press he wanted to hit Obama during the debate?


OTHER WHYZ....Why did the bus incident happen  with the bus driver uppercutting the teen girl in the first place? And why did the bus driver keep arguing with her?  Why are people more surprised that Nelly was on tour than getting stopped on his tour bus fad found drugs and a gun? Why did three white students reenacted the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident in blackface? Why is Ozzie Smith selling his memorabilia?  And Why is Mystikal doing a porno?
