JST Sako Honours Lolli Native With Heartfelt Tribute Ahead of ‘TUKA’ Album Release. Songwriter and producer JST Sako has paid a touching tribute to fellow artist Lolli Native, reflecting on their collaboration for the upcoming single “Dali”, set to feature on Sako’s highly anticipated album TUKA.
In a heartfelt message shared online, JST Sako opened up about the deep sentiment attached to “Dali”, crediting Lolli Native not only for his artistry but also for the warmth and family values he showed throughout the creative process.
Sako recalled how Lolli Native welcomed him and his team into his home, sharing genuine moments that went far beyond music. “You opened up your home to us, hosted us, and shared genuine insight into who you are,” Sako reflected, describing the experience as one that highlighted respect, brotherhood, and cultural exchange.
The two artists’ bond extended beyond the studio, with Lolli affectionately calling Sako the “Xhosa/Tsonga boy” — a gesture that symbolised unity through diversity. “It was wonderful how you embraced our differences, even during the creative process,” Sako added, noting that the collaboration represents more than just a song, but a meeting of worlds.
With “Dali” leading the way, JST Sako’s TUKA promises to deliver a fusion of sound and storytelling. The project also features collaborations with Loki and Kly, further cementing Sako’s reputation as a versatile and collaborative force in South African music.
“This one is definitely for you and yours,” Sako wrote to Lolli Native, signing off with gratitude and brotherhood: “Enkosi Bhudda! Luthando lodwa!”
