South African artist Ziggy4x named Apple Music’s “Up Next” artist for October

Apple Music’s Up Next program, which aims to identify and elevate rising star talent, provides Ziggy4x with global visibility through enhanced editorial support, prominent playlisting, and exclusive content. Reflecting on this opportunity, Ziggy4x shared: “Blessed is one word, pride is another. Being able to take my music further than just another local song played on the street corner is so special to me. I only hope this inspires more people like me to be truly themselves. Shout out to Apple Music, I’m Up Next!”

“Hou Kan Jy” offers fans a taste of Ziggy4x’s upcoming EP, “Gangsta Baby,” due out later this year. Produced by Bakergotthekeys, the track blends ’90s-inspired beats with sharp Afrikaans lyrics, delivering a smooth yet gritty sound that highlights his deep, confident vocal style. Ziggy4x’s unique ability to merge street culture with introspective lyrics makes “Hou Kan Jy” a bold preview of the energy and authenticity his EP will bring.
