Together, under the Topless Fam label, the two artists are ready to take their movement from the streets of Limpopo to the global stage.
Known for his unapologetic energy, viral hits, and street credibility, Shebeshxt has become a cultural force, leading the charge in the Lekompo music wave. His decision to partner with Virgin Music Group signals a bold new chapter where creative freedom meets global infrastructure. Under the new deal, Shebeshxt and Naqua SA maintain full ownership of their music, while gaining the support, resources, and reach of a world-class distribution partner.

The deal highlights Virgin Music Group’s commitment to championing independent artists on their terms. Already home to independent voices, including those shaping the unique sound of Lekompo Music, Virgin is now backing one of Limpopo’s most influential figures and his label, with a partnership built for long-term growth.
