Tumi’s sounding like the don he is over production by Canada’s Snaz Hill. Tumi and Samthing Soweto crafted a catchy anthem for the struggle, which would go on to be included on his 2015 album Return of the King.
“Broke People” ft. Samthing Soweto (2013) It was only right that Tumi and Chinese Man would work on a full project. On his 2014 single with Chinese Man, which was part of an EP of the same name, Tumi revisited the issue of colonization with intricate poetry, reminding you why he used to call himself “The Poet/Emcee.” The beat is analog, with a mean bassline and a woozy horn on the hook. Tumi & Chinese Man “Once Upon A Time” ft. “Before they made noise or rock and roll and sold gold/ I was a free soul,” raps Sudan. And the lyrical content in here is spot on, imagining a pre-colonial African continent. Instead of dropping a verse each, the two rappers decided to drop bars back to back, creating what is one of the most coherent collaborations of our time.
Tumi & Sifiso Sudan “Once Upon a Time in Africa” Remix (2008)Īn undebatable South African hip-hop classic, “Once Upon a Time in Africa” was an entertaining collaboration between two respected wordsmiths produced by one of the most respected producers in South Africa, Nyambz.
