The Big Hash Reflects On The Impact Of Nasty C’s ‘Price City’ As Mixtape Turns 10. The Big Hash recently took to social media to express his gratitude for Nasty C’s groundbreaking mixtape Price City, which turned 10 years old yesterday. In a heartfelt post, Hash credited the project with changing his life entirely, acknowledging Nasty C’s influence on his musical journey.
“It changed my life altogether @nastyc_sa. I’m grateful for everything you put into that mixtape, you have no idea. #PriceCity10,” The Big Hash shared.
This isn’t the first time The Big Hash has spoken about the profound impact Price City had on him. In a previous interview, he revealed that without Price City, his own project Young might not have existed.
“I have to say this, without Price City, we don’t have Young, my project Young,” he explained. “Price City is like the blueprint for Young. I was listening to all of that stuff during that time in the Vaal and getting that emotional connection to the music.”
Hash went on to describe how deeply he resonated with the mixtape, emphasizing how music can transform lives in ways that often go beyond words.
“You know that feeling like a lot of artists that you bring on board here, they’ve got an expression of fans coming up saying, ‘Yoh, your music changed my life.’ Sometimes it sounds cool and all, but if you are actually being affected by the music and you can actually get the perspective of why they feel that way—it’s crazy.”
Released in 2015, Price City was a pivotal moment in Nasty C’s career, showcasing his undeniable talent and setting the stage for his rise as one of South Africa’s most influential artists. The mixtape featured hits like “Cool Niggas,” which propelled Nasty C into the mainstream and solidified his position as a force in the hip-hop scene.
For The Big Hash, Price City wasn’t just an album—it was a source of inspiration, a project that shaped his artistic vision and gave him a deeper understanding of the emotional power of music. As the mixtape celebrates a decade of impact, it’s clear that its legacy lives on through the new generation of artists it influenced.
With Price City turning 10, fans continue to reflect on the project’s significance in shaping the South African hip-hop landscape. The Big Hash’s tribute serves as a testament to the lasting power of great music—how it transcends time, inspires, and even changes lives.
