From Shadows To Spotlight: SUMiT’s Journey Told Through ‘Tale of an Underdog



SUMiT has a story to tell. It’s a journey marked by resilience, raw talent, and a refusal to give up. And his latest single, “Tale of an Underdog,” is the anthem that captures it all.


This rising artist is on fire and unapologetically tearing up the scene. After dropping 23 singles in 23 weeks—yes, you read that right, twenty-three songs in twenty-three weeks—they’re making it clear they’ve got a relentless work ethic and no plans to chill.


SUMiT has collaborated with heavy hitters like Fabolous, Sean Kingston, The Hoodies, and OT the Real, and opened shows for legends including Rick Ross, Soulja Boy, and Jay Critch. They even managed to snag a spot at Travis Scott's Boston afterparty—not your average gig!


This artist isn’t just performing either; they’re creating and directing music videos for tracks like Dollars MatterGhosted, and Yeah Yup and delivering fierce live freestyles on shows like My Train of Thoughts and Dumb or Lit. Did we mention they snagged first place in DJ Cosmic Kev’s Artist Showcase in Philly? It’s safe to say they’re on a fast track to the top.

When SUMiT first heard the beat for this new track, he felt something shift—a deep, emotional pull. He describes it as a song that “wrote itself,” an experience that brought him back to the struggles he’s faced as an emerging artist. 

From hometown gossip to family doubts, SUMiT paints a vivid picture of the obstacles that often come with chasing a dream. With a blend of reflection and grit, he turns these challenges into fuel, channeling the frustrations and doubts into a track that feels both personal and universally relatable.

Raised in Worcester, MA, SUMiT’s journey in hip-hop is built on determination and years of honing his craft. He’s spent over a decade refining his voice and style, influenced by legends like Biggie Smalls and Jay-Z, and driven by a mission to bring his own truth to the mic. Today, his music is as layered and diverse as his experiences, marked by a blend of East Coast lyricism and a powerful emotional core that can resonate with listeners from all walks of life.

Each line of “Tale of an Underdog” reflects SUMiT’s resilience, purpose, and desire to rise above. And for those who’ve ever felt underestimated, SUMiT’s message rings clear—sometimes being the underdog is the best place to start.
