DJ Lag has earned another career milestone as his hit single “Ngyasindelwa”, featuring Zee Nxumalo and K.C Driller, receives Gold certification from the Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA).
Released as the opening track from his acclaimed Southside mixtape, the song quickly became one of the defining Gqom records of the summer. Its infectious production and memorable vocal performances resonated with audiences across South Africa and beyond.
Since its release, “Ngyasindelwa” has continued to gather momentum across streaming platforms, radio, and social media. The track also earned a nomination for Best Kwaito/Gqom Song at the Metro FM Music Awards, while Southside recently received a South African Music Award nomination for Best Gqom Album.
The success of “Ngyasindelwa” extends beyond streaming. The official music video has amassed more than 3 million views, while the track has become a fixture on radio playlists and digital charts. Its widespread popularity helped establish it as one of DJ Lag’s biggest releases to date.
The Gold certification marks another significant achievement in DJ Lag’s career. As one of Gqom’s pioneering artists, he continues to push the genre forward while introducing Durban’s sound to audiences around the world.
The milestone also adds to an already successful chapter for DJ Lag, who is currently taking Gqom across Europe and North America on his ongoing world tour.
