Reason Crowns Nasty C The Standout Star On Stogie T’s “Four Horsemen”
Reason Crowns Nasty C The Standout Star On Stogie T’s “Four Horsemen.” In the ever-competitive world of South African hip-hop, collaborations that bring together generational talents are rare treasures. When Stogie T dropped “Four Horsemen” in late 2025—featuring heavyweights Nasty C, A-Reece, and Maggz—the track quickly became a cultural moment, uniting fans in debates over verses, flows, and who truly carried the apocalyptic posse cut.
Now, veteran rapper and Amapiano hitmaker Reason (Sizwe Alakine) has weighed in during a candid appearance on MacG’s Podcast and Chill, offering high praise that has the streets buzzing once more. When host MacG asked Reason for his thoughts on the much-discussed “Four Horsemen,” the artist—known for his sharp lyricism and unfiltered opinions—didn’t hesitate to frame his response as a dedicated rap fan.
“Everybody is dope, and everybody is brilliant,” Reason began, acknowledging the collective talent on the track. “But for me, that song was to see Nasty and A-Reece land.”
He quickly zeroed in on what stood out most: Nasty C’s commanding performance. “My king and my goat is Nasty C,” Reason declared. “From the hook, the verse and the way he pinned it, the way he lines it up, the way he stacked it… That kid has a way of saying something—you can see this is a green beer, but he then can say, ‘hey this is potent 8%.’ I don’t know how he does it.”
Reason’s metaphor captured the essence of Nasty C’s style: seemingly effortless yet deceptively powerful, delivering lines that hit harder upon every replay. He emphasised that while all four artists delivered phenomenal writing, Nasty C’s contribution felt like the song’s defining “clue”—the element that elevated the entire record.
Released under Stogie T’s ANOMY project, “Four Horsemen” marked a historic first-time link-up between Nasty C and A-Reece on wax, with Maggz adding veteran grit and Stogie T steering the vision.
Fans and commentators have dissected the track endlessly since its November 2025 drop, with many echoing Reason’s sentiment that Nasty C’s hook and closing verse stole the show, blending intricate wordplay, smooth cadence, and undeniable star power.
Reason’s comments come amid ongoing conversations about unity in SA hip-hop. In the same interview, he touched on the potential for artists like A-Reece and Nasty C to lead a more collaborative era, avoiding past industry rifts.
As streams climb and reactions pour in, “Four Horsemen” continues to prove why South African rap remains one of the continent’s most dynamic scenes. And if Reason’s take is any indication, Nasty C just added another feather to his cap as one of the game’s most potent voices.
