Apple Music’s Rap Life Radio spotlights SA’s Lowfeye on latest edition
Rap Life Radio will feature South African rapper Lowfeye this month, with discussion centred on his latest single Sosobala, featuring Anzo and Danya Devs.
South African artist Lowfeye featured on Rap Life Africa.
The episode, presented by Ebro Darden, global editorial head of hip hop and R&B at Apple Music, will also include commentary from Nandi Madida, host of Africa Now Radio.
The track Sosobala is taken from Lowfeye’s album NOSANGE and is built on heavy production and lyrical delivery that incorporates collaborative contributions from Anzo and Danya Devs. The song is positioned as part of Lowfeye’s broader exploration of identity, ambition and legacy.
According to Apple Music, the album blends cinematic production with introspective writing, framing each track within a wider narrative around personal growth and artistic development.
This month’s edition of Rap Life Africa will also highlight Joga Bonito by 17, the musical alias of footballer Alex Iwobi, taken from his debut project ‘More To Life’. The track draws on Afrowave, UK rap and drill influences.
Also featured is Trappin’ by Blxckie and K1llbrady, from their joint mixtape Aura Era, which spans 15 tracks and incorporates melodic trap and experimental production elements.
“‘Sosobala’ is more than just a flex record, it’s me tapping into real legacy,” Lowfeye told Apple Music. He referenced a historical figure from eNquthu in KwaZulu-Natal, adding that the lyric is intended to symbolise ambition and vision.
“The collaboration between myself, Anzo, and Danya felt natural because all three of us are from KZN. It felt like the perfect canvas to tell this story, blend our styles, and pay homage while still making something that feels fresh and true to us,” he said.
Lowfeye has emerged as part of a new wave of South African hip hop artists blending traditional rap structures with experimental production. His work on NOSANGE has been described by Apple Music as a mix of introspection and assertive lyricism, reflecting themes of identity, struggle and ambition.
The feature forms part of Apple Music’s ongoing editorial focus on hip hop across Africa and its global diaspora.
