When will Somebody Nice be released?

TshisaLIVE further reported that his foundation will launch the song during his black tie event. Taurus shared that there was no inspiration behind the song. Sumbody heard it, and he loved it immediately. Taurus said:

“He had a talent for hearing an instrumental for the first time and immediately knowing which artist would fit. He took a beat I had no faith in and heard magic."

The Monate Mpolaye hitmaker was gunned down alongside his bodyguard two years ago. However, no arrests have been made for his murder.

Just last month, the South African Police Service (SAPS) announced that DJ Sumbody's murder case would be turned into a cold case due to a lack of leads. The family was allegedly unaware of this.
