Master KG grew up in Calais Village in Limpopo. He started playing beats at the age of thirteen using a computer bought for him by his late uncle. Master KG was in a relationship with Makhadzi before they split in August 2020.
Master KG's music career began when he got in touch with DJ Maebela and they started experimenting with music software. In 2016, after much practice, he released his first single "Situation". After signing to his current record label, Open Mic Productions, Master KG released his debut album Skeleton Move in 2018. Master KG has collaborated with several artists, including Zanda Zakuza and Makhadzi . He sings in his local language Khelobedu, a language spoken by the people of Lobedu.
Master KG has performed in several other countries, including Zambia. In December 2018, his song "Skeleton Move" was apparently voted as Thobela FM's song of the year and generated controversy as King Monada fans felt that "Malwedhe" (which is King Monada's song) deserved the award.
In December 2019, Master KG released the song " Jerusalema ", featuring Nomcebo Zikode . In mid-2020, it went viral online, was recorded internationally and spawned a remix with Burna Boy. The video for "Jerusalema" was removed from YouTube in the late hours of 5 August 2020, but was restored the following day.

The song "Jerusalema" by South African musician Master KG has been a massive viral hit across the world, thanks to its upbeat rhythm and lyrics that blend English and Zulu. The song's chorus is repeated throughout the track, with the singer inviting someone to go with them to Jerusalem - not the literal city, but rather a metaphorical place of spiritual significance. The repeated phrases "Jerusalema ikhaya lami" and "ngilondoloze" can be interpreted as an expression of yearning for a deeper connection with God, or with a loved one.
The first stanza begins with "Jerusalema ikhaya lami", which means "Jerusalem, my home". The singer declares that he is protected by God and invites his listener to stay with him and not leave him behind. The next stanza stresses the importance of faith and the desire to be close to God, with the lines "ndawo yami ayikho lana" ("my place is not here"), and "mbuso wami awukho lana" ("my power is not here"). The final two verses are a repetition of the earlier stanzas.
Overall, "Jerusalema" is a song about faith and spiritual longing, expressed with a catchy beat and lyrics that are easy to dance along to. Its infectious rhythm has inspired countless dance videos on social media, making it a global phenomenon.
