Tumi and the Volume

June 3rd, 2010

So, I’ve been listening to all sorts of music but one genre that I always end up going back to is Hip Hop.

A couple years ago I had heard a song on a mixtape that was produced by Nuffsaid Records, called “In Case You Didn’t Know”. This CD actually contains a track called “Cold Blooded” that my brother, Paul (“P. Bash”), and his old rhyming partner wrote/produced.

The track was called “The Soldier” which I have provided a link to download it here -> Tumi – Nuff’ Said – In Case You Didn’t Know – The Soldier

I also attempted to type up the lyrics to this amazing track as it helps with understanding what the message that is being conveyed is.

Anyway, move on a few years and I decided to see what else he may have put out there and to my pleasure, I discovered Tumi and the Volume.

Man this guy and his band produce some of the best music I have ever heard. One of my favourite hip hop albums to date.

You can listen to short clips of the tracks here. My favourite track would have to be “What it’s all about” and behind that would be “Oslo”..

He’s recently released a Solo album called “Whole worlds” and one with The Volume called “Pick A Dream”..

I’m yet to have a listen but I will be buying these albums as soon as I can find a place to get a hard-copy of them!
