Tumi

**Tumi** is the stage name of South African hip-hop artist and poet Tumi Molekane, a pioneering voice in Africa's alternative music scene. Known for his sharp lyricism and socially conscious storytelling, the Motswako rapper first gained prominence as frontman of the influential group Tumi and the Volume before launching his solo career. His recent releases like *Mafará* and *419 Bizness* showcase his signature blend of introspective bars, jazz-inflected beats, and pan-African consciousness, often collaborating with artists like Khuli Chana and Ziyon. Whether dissecting societal issues in *In Defense of My Art* or celebrating life's joys in *Feel so Good*, Tumi remains a wordsmith's rapper - equally at home spitting fire over boom-bap rhythms and crafting soulful, genre-blurring anthems that bridge hip-hop, house, and traditional South African sounds.
