This means booking holidays at off-shore hotels and affording whatever his partner wants, as he tells us in the lead single Diamond Walk and Big Dreams, or zoning in on the life his mother carved out for him by highlighting her cause. The album’s lyrical themes steer towards an economic freedom. Freedom remains the underlying motif tying all kicks, snares, orchestral arrangements and swirling melodic sensibilities together on Stogie T. Stogie T is not only a major player of SA hip-hop music but he’s consistently pushed the game to new heights, the new album is no exception. Stogie T keeps consistent in delivering the highest quality musical offerings in this genre pedigree, season after season, with constant improvement and evolution through each offering. As a hip-hop artist Stogie T contributed to shaping today’s urban Mzansi sound not only with his unique style and consistency, but also through his label Motif Records, having developed artists such as Reason, Riky Rick and co-signing The Soil, AKA and Nasty C in their early come-up days. Working with fresh talent is not something new for him. Hit makers Tweezy and Tru Hitz provided the beats. Under the new moniker, T brings a reinvention that speaks to “The new generation with a sound inspired by today’s finest talent in hip-hop, production and lyricism.” Stogie T features Emtee, Yanga, AKA, Nadia Nakai and Da LES. This offering is a true indicator of the success of the genre in South Africa and beyond.” Stogie T has shed some of the seriousness he has been known for since 2004 when he began releasing albums, but on his new album he says he still offers a perfect balance of “Depth, consciousness and entertaining new generation Mzansi Hip-Hop. Willing to dispense of a decade-plus worth of work as an artist, producer, label owner rocking shows solo or with his former band The Volume dropping knowledge by the busloads on Mzansi and overseas audiences. He's not the same man he was 10 years ago. Why the name change? Tumi’s latest incarnation as Stogie T is as real as keepin' it real can get. Your favourite MC formerly known as Tumi, a.k.a Big T, a.k.a T from The V is introducing us to 'Stogie T' with a tour, the current single Diamond Walk and a self-titled album that signifies the powerful SA Hip Hop movement.
