The late Qandeel Baloch was a social media star with a huge fan base. But ever since she’s left this mortal world, the number of her admirers has further increased, and now includes international celebrities.

Hollywood actor and rapper Riz Ahmed’s hip-hop band The Swet Shop Boys is one of them. He, along with Heems and Ali Sethi, has paid tribute to her through a nice little track called Aa Ja. From the moment it was released on the internet, music buffs are raving about it.

The song is also an act of acknowledgment for the genre of qawwali.

Good job, boys. Keep sweting!
