Fresh from taking home the Best R&B/Soul Album award at the 2026 South African Music Awards (SAMA32), Lordkez is keeping the momentum going with her brand-new single, “4SHO”, featuring South African hip-hop heavyweight Kwesta.
The track arrived on 21 August 2026, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the acclaimed R&B artist.
The release comes at a particularly strong point in Lordkez’s career. Her breakout hit “Aweh” dominated South African radio between September and December 2025, becoming the most-played song across the country’s radio stations during that period.
The track has since been certified Gold, while “Aweh [Remix]” featuring Cassper Nyovest has achieved Double Platinum status.
Following the success of “Aweh” and her acclaimed COLORS performance of “Wena Fela”, Lordkez is now turning her attention to “4SHO” – a collaboration that sees her team up with one of South African hip-hop’s most recognisable and respected voices.
“4SHO” brings Lordkez and Kwesta together
Designed with summer in mind, “4SHO” draws on Lordkez’s distinctive “Neo Nostalgia” sound. Her approach combines the warmth and familiarity of classic R&B with contemporary African influences and modern songwriting, creating something that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
The collaboration also represents an exciting meeting of two generations of South African music. Lordkez brings the perspective of one of the country’s fastest-rising R&B artists, while Kwesta adds the experience and unmistakable presence of an established hip-hop heavyweight.
Together, they create a track that bridges genres, generations and musical influences while showcasing the versatility of both artists.
Another milestone in Lordkez’s career
“4SHO” arrives just days after Lordkez’s latest SAMA victory, adding another major achievement to what has already been an impressive period of growth for the artist.
Her success with “Aweh” demonstrated her ability to connect with listeners both internationally through streaming platforms and locally through South African radio. The new single now looks set to build on that momentum and introduce audiences to the next phase of her musical journey.
