Nasty C & Tellaman Land Rap Life Cover Following “T’s & C’s Apply” Release
Nasty C & Tellaman Land Rap Life Cover Following “T’s & C’s Apply” Release. Nasty C and Tellaman are taking their long-running musical partnership to another level after landing the cover of Apple Music’s Rap Life following the release of their joint album, T’s & C’s Apply.
Sharing the moment with fans on Friday, Nasty C posted an image of himself alongside Tellaman on the Rap Life cover and announced that the album was officially out.
The cover appearance comes shortly after T’s & C’s Apply arrived on September 1, 2026, through TallRacks and Select Play Music. Spanning 17 tracks and running for just under 50 minutes, the album marks the first full-length collaboration between the two Durban artists, whose musical connection has developed over several years.
Their chemistry has previously been heard on songs including “Big Timing,” “Zone,” and “Whipped,” but the new album gives the pair an entire project to explore their shared sound.
The title T’s & C’s Apply cleverly combines the artists’ names, with “T” representing Tellaman and “C” standing for Nasty C. It also plays on the familiar phrase “terms and conditions apply,” creating a title that reflects both their identities and the idea of entering their creative world on their own terms.
Sonically, the album moves between R&B and hip-hop while drawing from Afrobeats and wider African influences. Tellaman brings his melodic approach, songwriting and hooks, while Nasty C adds his distinctive rap delivery, storytelling and occasional harmonies.
The project was recorded primarily in Johannesburg over a period of more than a year. Its development was closely connected to earlier collaborations, including “Big Timing,” which appeared on Nasty C’s FREE project and helped open the door for more extensive work between the two artists.
The album also features a strong supporting cast. Nigerian singer Oxlade appears on “Come Over 2.0,” while Blxckie joins the duo on “Mode.” Lusanda and crownedYung also make appearances, while broadcaster AyandaMVP provides the voice for the “Isinqa FM” interludes, adding a radio-inspired thread to the project.
Among the album’s standout moments are “Call Me,” “Playlist,” “Liar Liar,” “LFTOS” and the closing track “As Planned.” Across the 17 songs, Nasty C and Tellaman move between reflective moments, energetic cuts and nostalgic sounds without losing the central identity of the project.
The Rap Life cover gives the album another significant moment just days after its release. Apple Music’s Rap Life platform has become an important space for hip-hop artists worldwide, making the Durban duo’s appearance another notable step in the album’s rollout.
For Nasty C and Tellaman, the collaboration represents more than a meeting of two established artists. After years of individual careers and shared musical history, T’s & C’s Apply gives their chemistry a full-length platform and places their Durban roots at the centre of a project with ambitions beyond South Africa.
With the album now available, the next chapter of their partnership has officially begun.
