The musician from Phola started rapping in Grade 8 at Mehlwana Secondary School At first he was a Kwaito musician then much later he switched over to a genre he categorises as local Hip Hop trap.

“I use to mimic songs by Zola 7, Skwatta Kamp”

In 2010 he meet up with Samkelo ‘Samza’ and Carlos forming a group called ‘Ghass’. The trio released a mixtape titled ‘Explosion’ which had four tracks.

King SK has an EP out titled ‘The Beginning’.

In 2014 Ghass took a break in order for the artists to do their own projects.

“We still talk. Samza’ and I have continued with music and Carlos is going to be releasing something soon,” said King SK.

King SK’s first single ‘First Time’ was not on high rotation and the reason behind this is King SK feels he did not promote it well enough. In 2015 he released the second single titled ‘Blesser’. The reason behind the song title is that he believes he blesses his fans with good quality songs.

‘The Beginning’ has eight tracks in total. Featuring hit songs such as My jam, Sakanyuka, Mngan’wam, We the best, Winner and Soldier. The EP was produced by Teddy and Mapercent. The CD cover was done by MT Entertainment and Photography.
