Nasty C Reflects On 10 Years Of ‘Price City Mixtape’ & His Breakout Moment. South African rap sensation Nasty C is celebrating a major milestone—the 10th anniversary of his debut mixtape, Price City. The Durban-born rapper took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute, posting an old picture of his late mother while reminding fans that his breakout single “Juice Back” was released in the same year.
Released in 2015, Price City was the project that introduced Nasty C to the world, proving that he was more than just a young rapper from Durban—it was a statement that he was destined for greatness.
