STL-TIDBITZ. A few employees from Foxy/Hot 104.1 emailed me wondering why I didnt put any pics of their radio station from the Annie Malone parade on my blog on OUT 192. No hard feelings. It was nothing personal. Just a lot opf pics to choose from. . As a matter of factLY, I posted one one therre right at thr top (on OUT 192) . Thanks for putting me in check Congrats to my girl Mocha LAtte for being featured in the fashion section of the ST. Louis Post Dispatch over the weekend. I hear the pic is quite animated, but hey, I say any publicity is good publicty. LOL....I saw comedian and former Club Dreams owner Maurice G making a rare public appearance at Mocha LAtte's Got Lyrics Wednesday. he also did a jokey kind of poem on how poets do their poetry which was amusing. ....STL rapper Huey is doing better than what I expected withhis debut single, "Pop, Lock and drop it" on the Billboard cahrts. Thsi week it moves up one spot up to No. 6 on the Hot 100, holds at No. 6 on the R&B/Hip Hop charts for a second week, and moves up one back to No. 2 on the Rap Charts.
