soul food: tumi and the volume's 'asinamali'
you know who's a) awesome and b) ridiculously slept on? tumi and the volume. from their latest album, pick a dream (the quartet's third alubm, nominated for a south african music award in the best rap album category) here's the brand new video for the first single: asinamali. literally translating as 'i have no money', this track tackles the attitudes to and politics of fame and money, and all that comes with it. also: it's highly head-nod-able.
now playing: 'a mess' by shabazz palaces
shabazz palaces features ishamael 'butterfly' butler from digable planets. so geeked that he's back.
