Shebeshxt and Naqua SA Partner with Virgin Music Group South Africa

South African breakout artist Shebeshxt has signed a groundbreaking global distribution deal with Virgin Music Group South Africa, bringing rising talent Naqua SA along for the ride. The two artists, both representing the Topless Fam label, are set to take their street-born movement from the heart of Limpopo to audiences across the globe.

Shebeshxt, widely recognised for his unapologetic presence, viral anthems, and deep-rooted street appeal, is at the forefront of the Lekompo Music wave—a genre-driven movement capturing the raw spirit of the streets. His new partnership with Virgin Music Group marks a pivotal moment in his career: one where creative independence meets global opportunity.

Under the terms of the deal, Shebeshxt and Naqua SA retain full ownership of their music while tapping into Virgin Music’s world-class resources, infrastructure, and international reach.

“We’re proud to stand behind Shebeshxt and Naqua SA and support the vision of Topless Fam. They represent the voice of a new generation, and we’re excited to help take that voice across borders.”

says Nicole Thomas, Managing Director of Virgin Music Group South Africa

The collaboration reflects Virgin Music Group’s unwavering commitment to supporting independent artists on their own terms. As part of their broader mission, Virgin continues to uplift local sounds and movements—especially those making noise in communities like Limpopo—through strategic partnerships that empower rather than control.

For Shebeshxt and Naqua SA, the move signals the dawn of a new era.

“Now that we have the right team behind us, we’re ready to take things to the next level. New music is on the way; this is just the beginning.”
