STOGIE T (TUMI) is in the premier league of South African Music.

Under the new monicer Stogie T, there is a reinvention that speaks to the new generation with a sound inspired by today's incredibly talented hip-hop producers, credits on production include hit maker TWEEZY (AKA'S BADDEST, L-TIDO, CASSPER NYOVEST, AKA 'ALL EYES ON ME', TRU HITZ (STILO MAGOLIDE, RIKY RICK AND BOYZ N BUCKS). Guest features include Emtee and Yanga on 'By Any Means' - a definite street anthem and potential single, AKA on the sing along 'Miss Joburg' , Nadia Nakai on the kinky #FF and Da LES on 'Freaknasty.' STOGIE T has shed some of the seriousness he is known for but still offers a perfect balance of depth, consciousness and entertaining new generation Mzansi Hip-Hop. This offering from the legendary artist is a true indicator of the success of the genre in South Africa and beyond. This album will be a sure hit this side of the continent.
