Nsikayesizwe David Jr Ngcobo (born 11 February 1997), better known by his stage name Nasty C, is a South African rapper, songwriter and record producer. He grew up in Durban where he was raised by his father. His mother died when he was only 11 months old due to a car accident. He is most known for the single "Way It Go"by DJ Switch featuring Tumi and Youngsta, as well as the well-received remix to his single "Juice Back", which features Davido and Cassper Nyovest. He was the youngest recipient for an award at the 2015 South African Hip Hop Awards, namely the Best Freshman Award.

Early life and career

David Ngcobo originates from Durban in the Kwazulu-Natal Province. He started rapping at the age of nine, having been influenced by his older brother who was a producer at the time.[2] 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.[3]

The stage name 'Nasty C' was given to him by the first producer he ever worked with.[2] His dream of meeting one of his major influences became a reality when he met AKA, and opened for him during the nationwide album launch for AKA's debut studio album Altar Ego. Nasty C highlights that performing alongside AKA at a Durban festival was one of the best experiences of his life.[3]

Music career

Nasty C released his first mixtape One Kid a Thousand Coffins on 24 May 2013.[4] His sophomore project titled C L.A.M.E (Extended Play Version) – EP was released on 4 April 2014. L.A.M.E. is an acronym for "Levitating Above My Enemies".[5]On 10 February 2015 he would go on to release his highly successful mixtape, titled Price City. Off the tape was his major single "Juice Back" which later spawned a remix featuring Davido and Cassper Nyovest, produced by Gemini Major.[6]

On 9 January 2016, he was featured on Anatii and Cassper Nyovest's collaborative single "Jump".[7][8] The official music video for the remix to the single "Juice Back" was released on 17 January 2016. He appeared on SWAY in the Morning and freestyled over 6Lack's PRBLMS instrumental.[6]

Bad Hair

Early 2016 he released Hell Naw [9]as the first single off his debut album "Bad Hair" which he was set to release later on. Hell Naw peaked at No. 4 on the music charts in South Africa and earned him more popularity.[10] After he signed to Mabala Noise Entertainment he finally dropped Bad Hair to people's highly anticipation, for free on Audiomack. He later explained that that was due to a sample he couldn't clear from one song in time before the release. [11] In December 2016 he released an extended version of Bad Hair, titled Bad Hair Extensions with the smash single "Allow" featuring the American rapper, French Montana. [12]
