ABOUT NASTY C:
For nearly a decade, Nasty C (Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo) has had
a singular focus: to push the boundaries of his own potential. He has
been pursuing his hip-hop dreams since childhood when, legend has it, he
began rapping and learning to lay down tracks at age nine under the
tutelage of his older brother. At just fifteen years of age, Nasty
released his debut mixtape, _One Kid, A Thousand Coffins _(2012). He
shot to stardom in 2014, with his boundary-breaking second mixtape,
_Price City_, and “Juice Back,” a continent-wide instant classic
smash. The “Juice Back” remix featured Nigerian muso, Davido and
South African rapper Cassper Nyovest. This early success won Nasty C the
Best Freshman prize at the highly competitive South African Hip-Hop
Awards.
Nasty C’s popularity detonated with his 2016 debut album _Bad Hair_,
which hit #1 on the iTunes local chart and was the country’s
most-streamed album within 24 hours of release. Its re-release, _Bad
Hair Extensions_ featured French Montana. The seminal album earned him
Nasty C four Metro FM Music Awards, a South African Music Award and a
BET Awards nomination. The momentum surged with _Strings And Bling_ in
2018, named one of South Africa’s greatest hip-hop albums by such
influential local outlets as _TimesLive_ and _IOL_. Nasty C was the only
South African nominated for a BET Hip- Hop Award in the Best
International Flow category in 2019, and was also nominated for an MTV
Europe Music Award that year. _Strings and Bling_ won him two South
African Music Awards and two AFRIMMAs (All African Muzik Magazine
Awards).
