Tef Poe Talks #BlackLivesMatter + More On The Combat Jack Show
Ferguson native and fiery spitter Tef Poe is the latest to take the hot seat to discuss the #BlackLivesMatter movement and more on The Combat Jack Show. His visit to the show follows the July release of the acclaimed The War Machine III LP and the 2014 murder of unarmed teen Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by law enforcement in Ferguson, Missouri. Poe cites Brown's death as a tipping point in his own life. Combat Jack drops this episode with a primer on the chat, which clocks in at just over an hour and 30 minutes.
We hear about the #BLM movement but rarely about its artists. Ferguson, Missouri native Tef Poe shares his music, talks about how his life changed the day Michael Brown was murdered by Darren Wilson, what happened on the front line of Ferguson and how that city's changed after a year. Tef Poe also has BARS. Like he once said, "this ain’t your grandparents’ civil rights movement."
