Introducing… Nasty C!
Nasty
C (real name David Junior Ngcobo) is a rapper, producer and song writer
from Durban (South Africa). He’s fast gaining waves of interest in his
local music industry with his fresh sound which is setting him apart
from his peers.
The eighteen year-old
cool kid started rapping at the age of nine, having been influenced by
his older brother who was a producer at the time. He eventually mastered
the process of music production and began adding his vocals on the
beats he was making, later signing to Durban based artist management
company, Free World Music.
The stage
name ‘Nasty C’ was given to him by the first producer he ever worked
with, and from the beginning of his rap career he’s been influenced by
hip hop greats such as American rappers T.I, Lil Wayne, Drake, Hopsin,
Kendrick Lamar as well local rappers such as AKA, Khuli Chana and
Reason, who he says still inspire him because of their work ethic.
In
2013, he got to meet and open for one of those role models, rapper AKA,
at his ‘Alter-Ego’ nationwide album launch. Later that year he got to
join AKA on stage during performance a performance at a Durban festival;
an experience he highlights as one of the best in his entire career and
life.
A
single he was featured on titled ‘Keep Going’ by Junior Derocka has
been featured on MTV Base’s ‘Big Base Beats’ and his latest project is
titled ‘Price City’. It features the likes of Breeze, Blacksun, Erick
Rush, J-Arrow, SMM, Dynasty and Tantrik – to mention a few. The mixtape
has 21 tracks.
Price
City” is a figurative ‘city’, where dreamers go to make their dreams
come true by working hard, and it is common knowledge that success comes
at a price of sacrificing a lot. It’s also a double entendre, as it can
also refer to how most people have to pay their way to success, hence
the phrase I use, “We in the city where everything got a price, survival
of the best, you don’t cut it if you just kinda nice. Price City.”
