According to crew manager Vusi Qwabe, moving from dance performances into music was a natural progression for the group.
The song aims to capture the feeling of losing yourself in music and dancing, even when life presents challenges.
“That Seku Late feeling is the best when the beat drops and everyone forgets their problems. The message is simple: no matter what you are going through, don’t give up,” Qwabe said.
“It’s an invitation to come together, dance and celebrate life.”
The Mzanzi and Media Awards nomination has also been an important milestone for the group.
Qwabe said the recognition was a sign that the crew’s hard work was beginning to reach a wider audience.
