South African R&B artist lordkez will release her new single ‘4SHO’, featuring rapper Kwesta, on 21 August 2026.
The track arrives after lordkez won Best R&B/Soul Album at the 2026 South African Music Awards (SAMA32). It also follows the run of her single ‘Aweh’, which was the most-played song on South African radio stations between September and December 2025.

On ‘4SHO’, lordkez works with Kwesta, described as one of South Africa’s established hip-hop artists. The collaboration pairs her contemporary R&B approach with Kwesta’s hip-hop style.

The release follows her appearance on COLORS, where she performed ‘Wena Fela’, and continues a series of releases and performances that have widened her profile in South Africa and internationally.
The official music video for ‘4SHO’ is scheduled for 26 August, five days after the single becomes available on digital streaming platforms.
