St. Louis' own Tef Poe is one of a handful of hip-hop artists, along with his Foot Klan crew, that's been on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri.
With "War Cry," a track that can rival the energy of anything from MOP's catalogue, Tef Poe gives voice to the anger, sadness, rage, frustration, and overwhelming purpose that's risen out of that small, sleepy town in the Midwest.
He has a full contextual explanation for the track on his SoundCloud and I'll give you a taste of it here:
"My spirit is dampened by what is to come. I pray for the safety of my friends, family and loved ones. Jay Nixons friends and family will rest safely away from the arms of danger. He will not be tear gassed or violently attacked by the police. He can afford to boldly go on television and protect his political cohorts. None of them will be in the reach of this treacherous militarized police force. If I never record another rap record in my lifetime then so be it. I did this for Saint Louis and the countless victims of police brutality. This is my "War Cry" and I sincerely pray someone hears me before it is too late."
