‘Isphithiphithi’ (meaning the crowded or chaotic place) is Samthing Soweto’s labor of love.

The album features top South African producers including DJ Maphorisa, Kabza Da Small, and Thabo Ngubane (a.k.a. Mass). Also, it includes features and co-writes from ShaSha and Mlindo the Vocalist.

The eclectic and well-curated album is a much anticipated stand-out moment for Samthing. Not just as a known vocal legend, but also as a truly skilled writer and producer in his own right.
