The Skuta Baba Remix is more than just a record. It’s a movement — uniting powerhouse voices including Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta, Buzzi Lee, Tony Dayimane, Kane Keid, Mvelost, and Set Off into a single anthem that celebrates collaboration, diversity, and the unstoppable evolution of South African sound.

“This is more than a nomination, it’s a celebration of the sound, culture, and community that South African music represents,” the duo said. And indeed, their story has become one of artistry, unity, and cultural pride.
