I need y& #39;all to understand some things. The very first project released by a South African solo MC was in 1999 - RhymezIWrote by Spex. Tumi Molekane released The Tao of Tumi in 2001. Then in 2002, released A Dream Led To This EP. That& #39;s an era he& #39;s part of. The very inception.
Go back, listen to The Tao of Tumi & A Dream Led To This EP. Understand how far ahead that man already was. Now, consider this - The Tumi and The Volume albums, Music From My Good Eye, Whole Worlds and Return Of The King - you& #39;ll realize that this man has never missed a season!
This is before the Stogie T era - which some might argue is the best version of himself we are experiencing. From the days of P.E.R M. - MC Fatbuoy, to Tumi and The Volume/TFromTheV, to simply Tumi - The Poet MC, The Rhyming Author, TZ Deluxe, Tumi and Chinese Man.. to Stogie T.
Literal watershed moments: "& #39;76", Motif Records, The POWA Mixtape, Ke Sho Case Showcase, Sixteen 16& #39;s for June 16, TZ Deluxe, The Sway Freestyle, Lockdown Freestyle Fridays - this is all eras of South African Hip Hop. High pedigree MC& #39;ing & incredible musicianship.
How could I forget, Scrambles 4 Money. Battling Ness Lee, Bender and The Saurus.
