WOODBLOCK DJs Celebrate Double Platinum Win for “Skuta Baba Remix” After Metro FM Awards Success

Fresh off their victories at the 2025 Metro FM Music Awards, WOODBLOCK DJs — the electrifying duo of Sicelo Nkomo (ButterNutt) and Mthobisi Vuma — have officially secured Double Platinum certification for their groundbreaking Skuta Baba Remix. The accolade not only cements the track’s commercial triumph but also affirms its cultural impact as one of the most influential South African collaborations in recent memory.

Expanding on the popular original, Skuta Baba Remix took on a life of its own, driven by a powerhouse lineup that includes Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta, Buzzi Lee, Tony Dayimane, Kane Keid, Mvelost, and Set Off. The remix fused lyrical power, raw street energy, and genre-fluid production, resulting in a version that captivated both mainstream listeners and the underground scene.

More than just a hit, Skuta Baba Remix became a movement. It dominated local streaming charts, inspired dance challenges across TikTok and Instagram, and established itself as a national anthem of unity, hustle, and musical synergy. Its reach extended beyond numbers — it echoed in clubs, radio rotations, and township block parties, giving each featured artist a spotlight moment while showcasing the strength of collective creativity.

Managed by SoldOut Media, WOODBLOCK DJs are leading a new wave of independent, digitally-savvy artists who embrace collaboration and cultural storytelling. Xolani Majozi, CEO of SoldOut Media, captured the sentiment best:

“When we say this is a win for all of us, we mean it. This plaque reflects not just the strength of a great remix, but the power of collaboration, consistency, and culture.”

Producer Sicelo “Scelo” Nkomo spoke on the group’s vision:

“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.”

WOODBLOCK DJs are showing no signs of slowing down. With new music in the works and an ever-growing fanbase, the duo continues to push boundaries and elevate South African music on their own terms.
