He once played Prince Kaybee’s hit single Gugulethu featuring Indlovukazi, Supta and Afro Brotherz.Nasty C did something different with this album, he rapped in vernac, which comes as no surprise as his album is titled Zulu Man With Some Power. This move was highly celebrated by his fans and some of the industry mates.
In an interview with ZAlebs he spoke about the criticism he faced for not rapping in Zulu, as people used to slam him for rapping only in English and he wanted to showcase his distinctive Zulu verses.
“As a township boy from Illovu, I felt it was befitting for me to rap in vernac especially because this track is about my struggles and how my hood has inspired me to achieve the greatest,” he said.
