Veteran South African lyricist Stogie T, formerly known as Tumi from the Volume went on Instagram to reiterate his position at the top echelon of African lyricists, while also giving flowers to some other lyricists and other professionals like Maglera Doe Boy and Zoocci Coke Dope.
“I am EVERY VERSE. I’d like to accept my SAHHA for the best lyricist 10 years running. Okay I am done #IWriteTheseForWhoeverNeedsit,” the veteran lyricist said on Instagram.
Stogie praised Maglera’s verse on Boity’s ‘031’s Finest’ and ‘what’s arguably the best of the year, the 16 Maglera laid on Mashbeatz‘ ‘Never Ride‘with Thato Saul.
In the same vein, Stogie shouted out Pretoria Producer and rapper Zoocci Coke Dope complimenting the Piff Life boss’ work ethic.
Stogie was one of the first mainstream artists to have given Zooci a chance during his come-up years when Stogie jumped a Zoocci beat, back when Zoocci was sending out free beats and hooks in hopes of getting a big name on one of them
Taking to Instagram, Stogie T expressed his love for Zoocci and expressed how much he respects how the producer carries himself despite all the criticism.
“I have a lot of love for Zooci Coke Dope. He takes himself very seriously, I love that, I have had convos with people who think he is gassed on himself and whatnot. I would rather have a homie full of himself and work at greatness than full of sh*t. I love you Zoocci and salute to you for always taking yourself seriously,” he wrote.
