Tumi the Be Melbourne Tumi the Be is a Motswana poet and rapper who began his creative journey as a teenager, after seeing his first rap cipher. Captivated by the sound syncopated speech over a fat beat, he wrestled a pen to an empty page and turned churning thoughts into rhyming verse. Tumi’s style is a vibrant blend of old school rap and spoken word poetry, steeped in rich musical, spiritual and poetic tradition, Tumi shares abstract ideas, philosophical musings and real life experiences adding to his diverse appeal. Since moving to Melbourne in April 2014 his passion has taken him from hip hop open mic nights (Horse Bazaar, Whole Lotta Love, Killahertz), to poetry slams (Slammalamma Ding Dong, Voices in the Attic, Speak Up), and park ciphers where he has schooled and been schooled by Burn City’s finest. Tumi has been billed as one of Melbourne finest Freestylers Tumi the Be’s tracks Juice by Tumi the Be published on 2024-01-24T09:41:51Z Kill Them All by Tumi the Be published on 2024-04-23T20:52:07Z 3056 by Tumi the Be published on 2024-04-08T18:57:52Z Blessing You by Tumi the Be published on 2024-04-08T18:45:24Z Mastermind by Tumi the Be published on 2024-04-08T18:26:52Z Woop Woop by Tumi the Be published on 2024-04-08T18:09:20Z 24 Hours by Tumi the Be published on 2024-04-08T18:05:47Z Zwagala by Tumi the Be published on 2024-04-08T17:22:41Z Stressless by Tumi the Be published on 2020-08-20T00:34:04Z
