Lord Script Enlists WTF Efelow And Issi For Upcoming Single “Umoya”

Lord Script Enlists WTF Efelow And Issi For Upcoming Single “Umoya.” Durban rapper Lord Script is bringing WTF Efelow and Issi RSA together for a new collaboration titled “Umoya.” The upcoming release adds another entry to his growing catalogue as he continues to work with artists shaping South Africa’s trap and hip-hop scene.

Known by nicknames such as “Our Father,” “King of the South” and “Lord of the Trap,” Lord Script confirmed the collaboration through an Instagram post captioned, “Umoya w/ @wtf_efelow x @issi_rsa This Friday! 23.10.26 🎬🍿.” The announcement points to Friday, 23 October 2026, as the release date.

“Umoya” translates to “spirit” or “wind” in isiZulu and related Nguni languages. The title connects with the cultural identity that runs through Lord Script’s music. The Umlazi-born rapper has explored themes of resilience, family, street life and Southern identity across projects such as Our Father and The Undeniable EP. Earlier teaser clips featuring references to “Umoya” have also given fans a glimpse of the release ahead of its arrival.

The collaboration brings together three artists connected to South Africa’s evolving trap and hip-hop movement. Issi RSA, also known as Mcwijo or Slwane, has been building his catalogue with his confident delivery and projects such as Dawn ~ The Beginning. WTF Efelow completes the lineup, joining Lord Script and Issi RSA for the anticipated release.

Lord Script has continued to strengthen his catalogue through collaborations with established and emerging names in the local scene. His previous work includes “Ngeke Ningmele II” featuring Kwesta and the “Aura (oGcabashe)” remix alongside Sastii, LokiTunez and Okmalumkoolkat. He has also maintained creative links with Umlazi contemporaries such as Tony Dayimane and Usimamane.
