Master KG was well deserving of the award considering the outstanding work he put in 2020. His biggest song ever, Jerusalema, was highly streamed, attracted a worldwide dance challenge and impacted the lives of African people. When the Covid 19 pandemic caused great fear in people, ‘Jerusalema’ consoled everyone. Throughout 2020, Master KG made collaborations which uplifted other artists the likes of Nomcebo Zikode, Mr Brown and Makhadzi. His sound is cross cultural and appealing to all ages. With the Jerusalema Deluxe album out, he is set to solidify his position as a world class artist.
