Nasty C is the King of the musical Jungle, with his two new singles
Nasty C is re-entering the musical arena with two new singles.
At 21-years of age, Nsikayesizwe ‘Nasty C’ Ngcobo is getting ready to release his second and highly-anticipated album, Strings and Bling.
What better way to do so than release not one, but two new singles; King and Jungle, both with a ‘regal ring’ to it.
“Aint no rules in the jungle,” he declares of Jungle, which was produced by American beatsmith Cody Rhones. The trap-happy song is also a meditation on C’s experience of the concrete jungle that is Johannesburg.
“The jungle is ekasi where anything and everything happens,” said Nasty. “It’s where people live recklessly. There are no rules because you can do whatever you want. The jungle is also Joburg.”
Fake-woke skating on thin ice
While Jungle is a more aggressive entrance into the music rink, it’s the fake-woke who are skating on thin ice on King.
Produced by South Africa’s own Tweezy, King is a tongue-in-cheek look at misguided youth referring to themselves as “young kings.” The track features American rapper A$AP Ferg, who recorded his verse during a recent visit to SA.
“It’s not like I’m calling myself king,” explained Nasty. “It’s about these kids who talk too much and I’m mocking the term ‘king’ because of how those guys call each other that.”
“Nasty C has made an incredible album, full of fierce hip hop beats, guitar riffs and melodic chords. Strings And Bling will be his first release with Universal Music Group Africa and we are excited to expand his brand globally, comments Yvette Davis Gayle, CCO of Africa Creative Agency and Nasty C’s management.”
