Lordkez Confirms Release Date For New Single “4Sho” Featuring Kwesta
Lordkez Confirms Release Date For New Single “4Sho” Featuring Kwesta. Lordkez has officially put a date on her next musical move, and she is bringing Kwesta along for the ride.
The South African R&B powerhouse has announced that her new single, “4Sho”, featuring the legendary rapper Kwesta, will be released on August 21. Taking to Instagram this week, Lordkez shared her excitement about the collaboration, thanking Kwesta for helping bring the record to life.
“4Sho is yours on the 21st of August. 💫 Thank you @kwestadakar for making it come alive; I couldn’t be more excited & thrilled for the world to hear this number. We got one, you know the story. 💎,” she wrote.
The announcement follows a string of subtle teasers from the singer, who had already been dropping hints about the track with posts carrying the simple phrases “It’s 4Sho” and “4Sho 🇿🇦”. Those breadcrumbs have now led to an official release date, giving fans something concrete to look forward to.
“4Sho” brings together two artists with distinctly different musical identities. Lordkez has built her reputation around a genre-blurring sound that draws from R&B, neo-soul, alternative music and hip-hop, while Kwesta has spent years establishing himself as one of South Africa’s most respected storytellers and lyricists.
The collaboration could prove to be an intriguing meeting point between Lordkez’s intimate, poetic approach and Kwesta’s unmistakable delivery.
Lordkez, whose real name is Keziah Zoë Meyers, has quickly carved out a place for herself among South Africa’s most exciting contemporary artists. Her 2023 debut album, Testament, earned her a South African Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Album, setting the tone for a career that has continued to gather momentum.
Her 2025 project, You, Me & The 90’s, added another layer to her evolving artistry, while the success of “Aweh”, including its remix featuring Cassper Nyovest, helped push her music to an even wider audience. Her vulnerability as a songwriter, distinctive visual identity and fearless approach to genre have become central to her appeal.
Her recent COLORS appearance also offered another glimpse of the international attention surrounding her artistry.
For Kwesta, the collaboration adds another notable chapter to an already decorated career. The rapper, widely celebrated for his lyrical ability and storytelling, has remained a defining figure in South African hip-hop, with his landmark double album DaKAR II standing among the projects that cemented his legacy.
Now, the spotlight turns to “4Sho”.
Lordkez has not revealed too much about what listeners can expect from the song, but her closing words, “We got one, you know the story,” suggest there is more behind the collaboration than meets the eye.
For now, fans will have to wait until August 21 to hear the full story.
One thing is certain: Lordkez and Kwesta have something cooking, and “4Sho” could be another significant moment in the singer’s rapidly growing catalogue.
