Nanette Chooses Blxckie Over Nasty C & Emtee For Dream Joint Album

Nanette Chooses Blxckie Over Nasty C & Emtee For Dream Joint Album. R&B sensation Nanette is no stranger to collaborating with South Africa’s most revered hip-hop heavyweights. But when asked who she’d choose for a full-length joint album between Nasty C, Emtee, and Blxckie, her answer was loud and clear: Blxckie — and the reason was deeply personal.

In a recent sit-down on the A Okay! Podcast, Nanette was put on the spot with a question any fan of SA music would love to hear answered: “Between Nasty C, Blxckie and Emtee, if you were to choose to do a joint album, which one would you choose?”

With no hesitation, Nanette replied, “I have to say, Blxckie. For the culture, for our hood, for where I’m from, because we’re from the same hood. I would say Blxckie, for the Sydenham kids, so yeah.” This heartfelt shout-out to her roots in Sydenham, Durban — a shared hometown with Blxckie surely resonates with most fans.

While her choice leans toward hometown pride, Nanette has built an impressive resume collaborating with all three artists. She teamed up with Emtee on the soulful single “Wake Up”, flexed her versatility alongside Nasty C on “Use and Seduce”, and gave fans a smooth sonic blend with Blxckie on “Talk 2 Me”.

A joint album between Nanette and Blxckie isn’t just a dream — it now feels like a possibility. Both artists have a track record of genre-blending excellence, and a full project could easily become a defining moment for R&B and hip-hop fusion in South Africa.

For now, Sydenham can rest easy knowing two of its brightest stars are keeping the hood alive in national conversations — and maybe, just maybe, cooking up something more.
