While most children his age were riding their bikes outside, the rapper was making music with his older brother and his friends.

Nasty C released his first mixtape, One Kid, a Thousand Coffins, and debut EP, L.A.M.E (Levitating Above My Enemies), before graduating from high school. His second mixtape, Price City, produced his hit song, Juice Back. The track helped put him on the map.

Cassper Nyovest and Nigerian superstar Davido featured on the Juice Back remix, exposing Nasty C to a bigger audience.

Hell Naw, the lead single off his first studio album, Bad hair, earned him a string of awards, including “Song of the Year” at the 2016 Metro FM Awards. He also won “Best Hip Hop Album” and “Best Male Album”.

Nasty C’s follow-up album, Strings and Bling, was equally successful. It was named one of the best hip-hop offerings of 2018.
