DJ Lag Joins Uncle Waffles on New Gqom Release

DJ Lag joins forces with global amapiano star Uncle Waffles on “Cn I See U?”, a standout collaboration from her newly released EP 4 Da Streets. The track marks an exciting crossover between two of South Africa’s most influential dance sounds.

Released on 8 May 2026 through Encore Recordings, the project sees Uncle Waffles reunite with longtime collaborator Royal Musiq for a body of work rooted in the energy, movement, and culture that shaped their rise. While the EP continues to explore amapiano’s expansive reach, DJ Lag’s contribution introduces a darker, harder-hitting Gqom edge that cuts through the project with intensity.

As a pioneer of Gqom, DJ Lag’s presence on the release feels significant. His unmistakable Durban-born sound adds a rawness and urgency that complements the hypnotic production styles heard throughout the EP. The collaboration also highlights the growing conversation between Gqom and amapiano — two genres born from South African youth culture that continue to evolve on a global stage.

4 Da Streets arrives during a major moment for Uncle Waffles, following the release of her single “Taste” and a run of international tour dates across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe. The project features contributions from a range of collaborators, while still centring the creative chemistry between Waffles and Royal Musiq.

For DJ Lag, the release marks another important collaboration in an already expansive international run. As Gqom continues to find new audiences worldwide, his appearance on the project further reinforces the genre’s influence within contemporary African dance music.
