Master KG said he was releasing the album in order to give people something to dance to during the festive season.
Following news of the release of this album which Master KG said was a teaser of his major album that will be released next year, some quizzed why he was releasing songs such as Jerusalema that are on his EP again.

He responded by saying: “Let me teach y’all. Deluxe means upgrade. It’s like upgrading an old thing so I upgraded the old album with new songs. This means a new album will drop next year.”

Mr Brown

However, whether people like it or not, the deluxe album is coming and it is what people are going to find themselves dancing to over the festive season especially considering the way Jerusalema trended this year. The song also caught the attention of famous soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo who was captured dancing along to the song with his family.

Musician Janet Jackson also gave a shout out to Master KG following the song’s success.
