DJ Sumbody 'releases last song from the grave'

BEFORE DJ Sumbody was killed, he recorded a song.

Mzansi will now get to vibe to it this festive season. The single, called Somebody Nice, is set to be released on 15 November, featuring Murumba Pitch and Junior Taurus.

Businessman Oupa Sefoka, famously known as DJ Sumbody, was brutally murdered in November 2022.

The DJ, who was referred to as the Mayor of Tshwane, was best known for his hit songs Ayepyep and Monate Mpolaye, featuring music greats Thebe and Cassper Nyovest.

He was also a co-owner of the famous Ayepyep Lifestyle in Menlyn, Tshwane and in Cape Town.

Speaking to Daily Sun, Junior, whose real name is Tshepo Mosidi, said they decided to release the song to remember the beloved DJ.

"It was recorded a day before he passed away. When I listen to the song now, it gives me so much emotion because it was the last song that he recorded," he said.

He said that he hopes the song will bring commemoration.

"Even when you pass away, there are things on earth that can carry you through time. Even though he's no longer alive, we wanted to remember him," he said.

Junior said Sumbody had a great deal of impact on the industry.

"A lot of people don't know, but he was a person that believed in culture, and he introduced liquor brands that people didn't buy. He made it possible, and now people drink those brands," he said.

He said that they'll be hosting the launch of his foundation this month, and they'll also be celebrating his life.

"The song will also be performed at the event," he said.

The foundation also recently hosted a golf event in Cape Town, where more than R65 000 was raised for Eyabantu Educare Centre.
