Lelowhatsgood Now Apple Music’s Isgubhu Cover Star
Apple Music has revealed South African DJ and producer Lelowhatsgood as its latest cover star for Isgubhu. This announcement
This announcement comes hot on the heels of the release of his debut album, “Next Level,” which listeners can now stream on Apple Music. The album showcases a diverse array of dance anthems and groove-infused melodies inspired by the vibrant musical landscape of Mzansi, with the gqom single “Seven Up” serving as a standout track.
Expressing his gratitude, Lelowhatsgood shared with Apple Music, “Being chosen as the Isgubhu cover star for May is not only a privilege for me, but it also shines a light on the queer creative community, which often doesn’t receive the recognition it deserves for its contributions to culture and music.”
Lelowhatsgood Marks Milestone
To mark this milestone, Lelowhatsgood curated an exclusive Isgubhu playlist featuring tracks close to his heart.
He explained his selection process, stating, “I carefully selected these songs for my playlist because these artists inspire me. I admire their unconventional approach to music – they dare to think outside the box and avoid sticking to conventional norms. There’s a certain allure in pushing boundaries, and I’m drawn to artists who embrace that ethos.”

Lelowhatsgood teased insights into his upcoming EP, promising a fusion of gqom and electronic dance music with a genre-defying twist. While gqom remains his foundational passion, he also celebrates the diverse spectrum of South African dance music, encompassing electronic, Afro-house, and amapiano sounds.
Ntsikelelo Meslani, professionally known as Lelowhatsgood, commenced his musical journey in 2027 and has since carved out a niche for himself as an innovative and influential figure. Building on his success with an exclusive Pride 2021 (DJ Mix) for Apple Music, Lelowhatsgood made waves with his debut single “Demon’s Kiss” (2022), a collaboration with Dee Traits. His prowess lies in seamlessly blending various genres such as house, gqom, amapiano, ballroom, and baile funk.
Launched in early 2021, Isgubhu serves as the premier destination for African dance and electronic music on Apple Music, spotlighting and amplifying the work of African electronic DJs, producers, and creatives.
