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
