New Single to Honour Late DJ’s Legacy
A song recorded by the late DJ Sumbody, just a day before his tragic death, is set to be released this November, bringing the DJ’s legacy back to life for his fans. The track, titled *Somebody Nice*, features Murumba Pitch and Junior Taurus and will be available on November 15.
DJ Sumbody, whose real name was Oupa Sefoka, was a beloved figure in South African music and culture before his untimely murder in November 2022. He was known for his chart-topping hits like *Ayepyep* and *Monate Mpolaye*, collaborations with major artists such as Thebe and Cassper Nyovest. The song’s release is expected to be an emotional tribute to the man who left an indelible mark on South Africa’s music scene.
**A Tribute to a Cultural Icon**
The song *Somebody Nice* holds special significance as it was the final track DJ Sumbody recorded before his death. Junior Taurus, one of the collaborators on the track, shared in an interview with *Daily Sun* that the decision to release the song was made to honor DJ Sumbody’s memory.
“When I listen to the song now, it gives me so much emotion because it was the last song he recorded,” Junior explained. “We hope the song will serve as a commemoration of his life and impact.” Despite no longer being with them, DJ Sumbody’s spirit continues to live on through his music and contributions to the industry.
**Remembering the DJ’s Influence**
DJ Sumbody, who was also known as the “Mayor of Tshwane,” had a far-reaching impact on the South African music and entertainment industry. In addition to his music, he was instrumental in promoting local culture and introducing various liquor brands that became popular among South Africans. “He was a person who believed in culture,” Junior added, acknowledging the DJ’s role in shaping trends that many may not have recognized at the time.
As part of the ongoing efforts to remember DJ Sumbody, his team will be hosting the launch of his foundation later this month. The event will include a performance of *Somebody Nice*, ensuring that the DJ’s legacy continues to thrive in the hearts of his fans.
The foundation, which has already hosted successful charity events, including a recent golf tournament in Cape Town that raised over R65,000 for the Eyabantu Educare Centre, is also committed to giving back to the community.
**A Lasting Legacy**
Though DJ Sumbody’s life was tragically cut short, his influence continues to reverberate throughout South African music and culture. The release of his final song is a testament to his enduring impact. Fans can look forward to celebrating his life, music, and contributions through *Somebody Nice* and the upcoming foundation events, ensuring that DJ Sumbody’s legacy will never be forgotten.
