Snaz (Cashless) (S.A)
$na** (MosSyde) (Bots)
Snazzy (Nam)
Snaz (Rene Hill?) (S.a.)
cats really like that name, eh?
-
oh yeah, another thing is that Taďro from Paris, France on track 7? If so what a vicious combo! How's the track?

“Tumi without the Volume is like Miles Davis without Bill Evans, Bob Marley without the wailers – still a powerful, relevant voice.” So he says. And so it appears in light of Whole Worlds, Boitumelo ‘Tumi’ Molekane’s second album sans the Volume, the live band with whom he has familiarized audiences in Scandinavia, North America, France, Germany, the UK…very nearly the whole world.
It is as part of this outfit that Tumi has groomed his repertoire to exceed the singular dimension of supreme MC status. Years spent articulating the South African experience for foreign enquiring minds in a live band context have not only perfected the fluidity of his lyricism but also earned him peers on the international music scene. Cutting edge producers from no less than four continents feature on Whole Worlds. Namely, Rene ’Snaz’ Hill from Canada, Robin Hannibal Braun from Denmark, Kabir 'Kwality' Ahluwalia from India, Mason Black and Thabang ’PapercuTT’ Moloto from South Africa. The vocal guest spots too are suitably diverse and include Zaki Ibrahim (Canada/South Africa), Tairo (France), Mxo and RJ Benjamin.
Where the average rapper would struggle to ama** such a cutting edge lineup, Molekane’s all-round artistry affords him equal standing with such musical giants as jazz virtuoso Sibongile Khumalo (featured on this album on Stage Lights). By the same token, it imparts on him the fortitude to showcase music scene newbies like dance actress and singer Tracey Lee, as well as Qagamba Makula, a poet with whom he has a**ociated since he fronted the poetry collective PERM in the late 90s.
It also generates the influence by which he is able to acquire the contribution of more familiar names from other circles of South African commercial music. Fortunate especially for the ma**es of fans of, for instance Bricks, who quite likely are only accustomed to the kwaito hot boy sticking to one script. Leading a new school of thought Tumi jettisons the dated rule books to represent a now generation of musicians and listeners. Their tastes are more this and that than either/or. They’re the ones for whom the two stalwarts’ collaborative message of hope will resonate the strongest on Bambezela – the album’s flagship single, and arguably Tumi’s most accessible endeavour yet.
Current and universal topics such as insurgency, celebrity, love and monogamy, theme this semi-conceptual album, a collection of narratives from the points of view of several South Africans, expertly put together with cla**ic Hip-hop as the conduit, optimism as the overall sentiment, and with the whole world in mind.
-
Yeah man damn, I really want to hear this!
-
i noticed he doesnt like using local producers for his solo albums.

how is it?

On the real, i was never really a fan of "conscious hip-hop" or whatever u want to call it. For me these cats never sounded real , or maybe i'm just missing something ? But whatever yo, preach on. I like TUMI more with the Volume cos it's a bit more experimental which i think fits him more than when he does more conventional hip-hop .Their last album was pretty dope, but his solo didn't grab me that much. All that Mariah shit was ::) to me. Don't get me wrong dude is skilled, but not really my cup of tea.
Album is probably is dope, cos dude is talented, so will give it a listen.
But im saying though:
HOW ABOUT SOME HARDCORE ????
Eish, please don't bite me AG. Just being honest.

According to one of Braintrain's facebook status Tumi has got one hell of a controvercial bonus track on the album where he name drop a few SA cats including Flabba, JR, Da LES et al and goes on to blame them for the weak level of standard of SA Hiphop. Not sure if he's referin to their lyrical content, styles or whatever, so any one who got the album please up the joint (not the entire album but just that bonus track) coz we wana knooooooow!

i m not a fan of this guy's music either...i think its his voice
i like the so called conscious stuff( pretty much the kinda music i m doing now with REBEL I) BUT the way the message is conveyed and the beats has to be clever. I came up on BDP shit and the blast master preached the whole way. that shit is still dope now. THERe SHOULD BE A BDP APPRECIATION THREAD!!!!!

Very true...saw the dudes performin recently. They were performing old tracks though (on a scratched CD that skipped so bad that Reason had to beatbox so that they could perform...SMH) so I have no idea how much new material they've recorded, if any.
-
Does anyone know where I can place an overseas order?
anyone?
New video i suppose

holy shit!
that was dope! :o
-
I got lost somewhere in the abstraction of that video.
Checking itunes for the album
-
the video is solid to me, could have told the story well even without the vocals...lol, the last segment could have even easily qualified for those "arrive alive" ads that the traffic dept does, with alchohol and all...
by the way, the light skinned broad with the sofia town afro would GET IT... ;D

I'm sayin

The video makes this song feel average. Brickz on the hook does not help. I would've expected a video like this from Teargas...not Tumi.

only uk and Europe itunes.... :(
