Upitumee Bio:
“With a massive fan base of people that have come to expect only the best, UpitumeE refuses to let them down. Biting his tongue for no one, he creates a vibe unlike any other, and impossible to duplicate…Matching his ability to remain clever & witty, while still managing to get his point across smooth as silk, the hustle can’t stop. The message is too important. The music speaks for itself, as it should..Right?”
