Apple Music has announced Amapiano DJ and producer, Rethabile Setwaba alias as the next Isgubhu cover star.

 “Being featured on the Apple Music Isgubhu cover for April fills me with immense gratitude,” Rethabile Setwaba noted. “It's an incredible opportunity to share my music and connect with a diverse audience. I'm thankful for the platform's recognition of my work, and I'm excited to continue spreading my passion for music to listeners around the world,” he added.

 Polokwane-born Sfarzo Rtee is known for his meticulous attention to detail when it comes to the crafting of his hit songs. Having made his mark on the highly contested Amapiano scene at the tender age of 19, by becoming one of the youngest DJs to play Boiler Room in Johannesburg, his breakout debut album, It Was Never The Same (2021), saw him fuse Amapiano with deep house to produce a soulful, more melodic version of the genre.

To celebrate his feature, Sfarzo Rtee has created an exclusive Isgubhu playlist that details the producer’s extensive industry journey, from his hometown of Polokwane to the main stage of Afronation in Portugal.
