The RETURN OF THE KING, Tumi Molekane debuted his latest single "In Defense Of My Art" on Tuesday, 21 October 2014 on 5FM's Fresh breakfast show, featuring South African artists, Ziyon & Reason - A game changer for the South African music scene.2
Just under 2 weeks later we saw the single come to life in a one of a kind music video that debuted on MTV Base "Spanking New" on Fiday, 31 October 2014 at 4pm. The video was shot in Cape Town, South Africa and the theme came from video director Kyle Lewis who is known for directing work with striking visuals, as he has an affinity for music videos would soften the harshness of the images people would be confronted with.
Together Tumi and Kyle set out to make a music video that was as striking and jarring as the song. The effort, time, skill, creativity, and energy comes oozing out of the video making specific statement about gun violence, power, African misrepresentation, gender inequality and style.
The "In Defense Of My Art" music video sets a new standard in the South African entertainment industry, and is something all South Africans can be proud of."There were parts of this video that were incredibly difficult to shoot and partake in but i trusted kyle with this vision. I grew up in a household ran by a woman with a gun. I slept in a bed with an AK47 under the bed, that's not some kind of cool fantasy for me. That's what made a lot of us in South Africa." Says Tumi
