Nasty C marks 10 years of ‘Bad Hair’ with unreleased Riky Rick collaboration

On September 23, 2016, Nasty C's debut album Bad Hair was released on Audiomack, marking the beginning of a transformative decade for the Durban-born rapper. The album reached the top of the South African iTunes chart and became the most-streamed South African album on Audiomack in its first day, catapulting Nasty C to the forefront of South African hip-hop.

To celebrate the album's 10-year anniversary, Nasty C is releasing "A Star Is Born," a track featuring late hip-hop star Riky Rick and American actor Omari Hardwick, exclusively on Audiomack. This unreleased song was originally intended for the album but was removed due to sample clearance issues. The release highlights Nasty C's early career and his subsequent rise to global recognition, with over one billion streams on Spotify and collaborations with artists such as T.I., Ari Lennox, Lil Gotit, and Lil Keed.

Audiomack has also launched a dedicated Nasty C Hub to commemorate the milestone, offering fans a comprehensive look at the rapper's journey.
