Humble beginnings have proven to bring forth brighter days for Hip-Hop Mogul, Tef-Kaluminoti. Born as Bakeeba Ruffin, this North Carolinian born mastermind continues to lyrically elbow his way to the forefront of the hip hop industry. Tef draws upon his own personal life struggles-which he writes about in his fiery flows. He has been quoted as saying that "I teach everyone how to make it-through my eyes and my experiences in life. I can encourage and inspire everyone to reach for more through the songs I write." His debut album "T2M Xidus Red Pill Blue Pill", produced by "Rocjose" for Roc city productions, is set to drop Fall 2007, by way of his own label (Roc City Records), formed in 2001 with his business partner, Kae Watson. Tef has embraced various influences on both personal and professional levels and pays homage to Master P, Russell Simmons, and P Diddy on how they used their business savvy to get into the music industry and continue to stay on top of their game. Credits to date: Tef's signature style and personal drive have afforded him opportunities such as opening for artists such as: TI, E-40, Genuine, and Cash Money Millionaires. He is scheduled for a 6 US City Tour, and fall, is to begin filming his first feature film, "Beat Down"which he wrote and produced under Roc City films.
