South Africa’s finest rapper Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo, popularly known as Nasty C, has opened up about his journey and how he got to be one of the best hip-hop acts across Africa. .
Nasty C, who is currently in the country courtesy of Africa’s leading music streaming and download service, Boomplay, shared that he did not grow up with much but had huge dreams that he decided to go after. “I started my music at the age of nine. There is this bus I used to take to school, and it had a laptop or drop screen on the bus. They used to play a lot of music, like Mariah Carey, Usher Raymonds but one day they played Hip-hop, and I noticed something I had never seen on the screen before. Flashy cars, jewellery, nice clothes, beautiful women and I was like I want that, that was pretty much what sparked my interest,” he said.
The Jack hitmaker then got home and asked his brother to download software, where he started making beats and trying to find a sound that fit him.
