Nasty C and Tellaman Drop Long-Awaited Joint Album “T’s & C’s Apply”
Nasty C and Tellaman Drop Long-Awaited Joint Album “T’s & C’s Apply.” South African music fans woke up to a major moment this morning. On 1 September 2026, Durban heavyweights Nasty C and Tellaman officially released their first full collaborative album, T’s & C’s Apply. The 17-track project is now streaming everywhere, independently released through Nasty C’s Tall Racks and Tellaman’s Select Play.
The title is both playful and pointed. It riffs on the familiar phrase “terms and conditions apply” while folding in the artists’ initials: T for Tellaman and C for Nasty C. For two artists who have spent more than a decade circling each other in studios, on stages and across tracks, the name feels fitting. This is not a casual collab. It is the formal document of a creative partnership that has been building since their early days in Durban.
Nasty C has described the album as “R&B-leaning” and “made for winter.” The pair spent years quietly stacking ideas in a shared vault before deciding, at the start of 2026, to lock in properly. They sifted through the backlog, kept what matched the mood they were chasing, and built outward from there. The result is a project that leans heavily into melody, smooth production and chemistry, while still leaving space for Nasty C’s signature bars and Tellaman’s effortless hooks.
The tracklist runs as follows:
- Intro (feat. AyandaMVP)
- Call Me
- Come Over 2.0 (feat. Oxlade)
- Sally’s Interlude
- Playlist
- Natural
- To The Moon & Back (feat. AyandaMVP)
- Liar Liar
- LFTOS (feat. Lusanda)
- City Lights
- Free
- 1sec (feat. crownedYung)
- Throw That
- M 4 Must (feat. crownedYung)
- Freak
- Mode (feat. Blxckie)
- As Planned
Featured artists include radio personality AyandaMVP (who appears twice), Nigerian singer Oxlade, Lusanda, crownedYung and Blxckie. The project opens with a radio-style intro that sets the tone and closes with the reflective “As Planned,” a song early listeners have already flagged as an emotional standout.
The rollout has been deliberate. A four-track EP arrived in July, giving fans early looks at “Intro,” “Call Me,” “Come Over” and “Sally’s Interlude.” Subsequent singles such as “Natural” and “Playlist” kept the momentum going. Nasty C announced the official 1 September date in July, calling the independent release “a bold move… but one that is very important to us.”
The timing feels significant. Nasty C’s previous album Free (and its deluxe edition) marked a strong independent chapter after his time with major labels. Pairing with Tellaman, one of his longest-standing collaborators, continues that spirit of creative control. The two have appeared on dozens of tracks together over the years, but this is the first time they have built a full body of work as equal partners.
To mark the release, the duo has already begun an album launch run across Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, with dates stretching into mid-September. Free tickets have been offered in each city, turning the campaign into a direct conversation with the fans who have been asking for this project for years.
T’s & C’s Apply arrives as more than just another album drop. It is the sound of two artists who grew up in the same city, came up through the same scenes, and finally decided the terms were right. The conditions, it seems, have been met.
The album is available now on all major streaming platforms.
