Who is Top Virus? This a group originally from KZN, Zondela Township in Ulundi few Kilometers away from Durban. It consists of three members named Pillos, Percy, and LoveLase. The trio group started their musical journey in 2013 when they met in a studio doing solo projects.

“It just happened that we clicked and we decided to work together and make good quality music. We started performing at taverns and sheebeens and people loved our music,” says Lovelase.

In 2015, Top Virus released their first Album titled “First Attack” which they sold in the street and taxi ranks around KZN. Having the freshest swag, they also gained popularity because of the way they dress and look.

“We made our name from selling our music on the street, what pushed us, even more, is that people are so supportive, they love our music and they buy our music,” Pillos quoted.

Talent alone is not enough, and because of their potential, the group attracted an investor who’s currently the group manager, Mthokozisi Ngcobo.

“He saw us performing at Ulundi plaza in KZN, he liked our music and performance but after understanding our vision, he brought us our own studio equipment and invested in our brand image,” says Percy.

This boosted their creativity and their big breakthrough came when they recorded a smash hit titled “Imali Eningi”.

The hit song is said to have opened a lot of doors for the group, for the first time, their song aired on one of the biggest radio stations in the country like Ukhozi FM, Igagasi FM and just to name a few.

Early this year, the group came to Johannesburg to shoot a music video for the hit song “Imali Eningi” the music video got TV airplay on Live amp (SABC 1), Club 808 (eTV), MTV Base, Channel O, Trace TV, Soweto TV, 1KZN, With more than 40,000 viewers on YouTube.

The group also performed in big events and shared a stage with the likes of Big Nuz, Dj Tira, Professor, Babes Wodumo and many more.

The success of the song “Imali Eningi” has opened doors for the group in our neighbouring countries. Top Virus is planning to release its new single hit song “Wombolo” Featuring Mozambique Artist Lloyd Kappas.
