Following their standout victories at the 2025 Metro FM Music Awards, WOODBLOCK DJs — the dynamic duo of Sicelo Nkomo (ButterNutt) and Mthobisi Vuma — have officially been awarded Double Platinum status for their game-changing “Skuta Baba Remix.” The accolade confirms the remix’s position as a landmark achievement in the evolution of South African music.
A Remix Turned Cultural Anthem
Expanding on the already-explosive original, the “Skuta Baba Remix” boasts a heavyweight lineup of collaborators including Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta, Buzzi Lee, Tony Dayimane, Kane Keid, Mvelost, and Set Off. Together, the artists fused lyrical brilliance with streetwise energy and genre-fluid production — crafting a remix that resonated with both grassroots listeners and mainstream audiences alike.
Viral Momentum and National Impact
Far more than just a song, the remix evolved into a national movement — topping streaming charts, sparking viral moments on social media, and offering each featured artist a moment to shine. “Skuta Baba Remix” became a unifying anthem that celebrated rhythm, resilience, and creative synergy.
The Power of Collective Vision
Managed by SoldOut Media, the duo’s success signals the rise of collaborative, independent, and digitally fluent artistry in the South African landscape.
“When we say this is a win for all of us, we mean it,”
said Xolani Majozi, CEO of SoldOut Media.
“This plaque reflects not just the strength of a great remix, but the power of collaboration, consistency, and culture.”
From the Studio to the Streets
Sicelo “Scelo” Nkomo, the producer and one-half of WOODBLOCK DJs, reflected on the journey:
“I wanted this remix to feel like the streets — raw, alive, and honest. Every artist brought their truth to the table, and you can hear it in every verse. Double Platinum is a blessing, but for me, the biggest win was seeing our sound unite so many voices.”
