SAMA winner Lordkez teams up with Cassper Nyovest for culture-rich Aweh remix

South African Music Award-winning R&B singer Lordkez and multi-platinum rapper and cultural trailblazer, Cassper Nyovest, are about to light up summer with the Aweh remix single and music video, which has cemented its place as one of the season’s most talked-about collaborations.

The jam is more than just a song; it is a celebration of language, culture and identity through lyrical storytelling. Lordkez blends soulful melodies with poetic depth, embracing colloquial phrases that reflect SA’s diversity.

She roots her art in authenticity when she sings, “Dala what you must,” a phrase commonly used in the coloured community, meaning “Do what you have to.”

Nyovest enters with his signature Setswana flow, delivering a verse that grounds the song in cultural tradition and romance.

Drawing from African cultural practices, he references lobola in his lines, “Really wanna make you my wife sab’ serious, sab’ serious (Eish).

Lak’ sina malume, kopa ho gafa lobola ya five stina”, reflecting a heartfelt declaration.

“The song was already picking up traction when Cassper reached out on TikTok after seeing clips of the video. He congratulated me and asked if he could be on a remix. Working with him and his team has been amazing,” said Lordkez.
