In African hip hop terms Stogie T is a legend and bonifide O.G. With recording
credits ranging from Styles P, Immortal Technique, Saul Williams, Chinese Man,
Nasty C and others, his battles on KOTD, tours across all five continents and his
global status is not one to be taken lightly.
Stogie T’s artistic credibility and commitment to the culture has seen him win lyricist
of the year twice at the South African hip hop awards and a monumental “Sway In
The Morning” freestyle in 2018 that cemented his position as one of the best
proponent of the lyricism in the game.
Starting with a stellar career as the lead man for the world traveled live outfit Tumi
and the Volume and his various solo projects including an album with French
production team Chinese Man and the Australian hip hop pioneer label Nuffsaid
Records his outlook has always been intercontinental.
It is however, in his iteration as Stogie T that the rapper has come into his own. His
albums ‘Stogie T’ and mixtape ‘Honey and Pain’ as well as noteworthy features
across the world have solidified his spot with the giants of the craft.
Today Stogie T is the true voice for black youth on the continent. Seen through the
lens of South Africa’s highs and lows his music muses on political instability, the
newly won freedoms of the youth, and the shenanigans of the newly minted Africans
down south.
