Congratulations to local Musician Master KG SA Music whose song Jerusalema the remix which features Nomcebo Zikode and Nigeria’s Burna Boy debuted at Number 6 on the Billboard World Digital Sales Chart and at Number 31 on Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart 🎶🎶🎶👏👏❤.

arrives three hours late to an east London studio on a balmy July evening, he is laid-back to the point of comatose — and monosyllabic. He asks that the photo shoot happen quickly, and when he sits down to be interviewed, the first thing he does is stand up again. “No,” he says, suddenly definitive. “Need a smoke. Come.”

The tall and imposing 28-year-old, born Damini Ogulu, leads the way into his black minivan, where a member of his entourage hands him his smoke. For the next 45 minutes, he gets lost in a dense, pungent cloud. But as he inhales, Burna Boy — arguably the most popular exponent of Afro-Fusion right now — begins to unwind. “Take as long as you like,” he says with a sparkling smile. “Got all the time in the world.”
