“I kept my Zulu Verses for the album,” Nasty Shares What He Aims To Achieve With His Upcoming Project

“I kept my Zulu Verses for the album,” Nasty Shares What He Aims To Achieve With His Upcoming Project. During an interview with Okay Africa rapper and songwriter Nasty C shared more details on what can be expected on his upcoming project Zulu Man With Some Power.

What he has instore are actually Zulu verses, for the most of us it will be the first time we hear the Ivyson star use a little vernac. He made it clear that he will unpack a lot to show the world that we are more than how we perceived.

“I want the world to know there’s more than just Afrobeats in Africa,” he said.

The 23 year-old added that he doesn’t get intimidated by people who have issues with him rapping almost purely in English with an adopted Southern accent. “Even my Zulu verses,” he added, “I kept them for my album. Everyone had been saying ‘you from Durban, why do you never rap in Zulu?”

Nasty C also expressed that through conversations he had with renowned American producer No I.D, he was able to “organically” embed who he is in his music without forcing things.

In an interview with OkayAfrica last year, Nasty said about No I.D:

“He unlocked something in me that other people were failing to get across to me, like, ‘Sound more African.’ Blah, blah, blah… He put it in the perfect words, and I understood it. And I implied it in my music. You’ll hear it. When you hear it, it’s crazy, it’s going to drive you nuts.”

Zulu Man With Some Power is due for release on August 28, with features of T.I., Ari Lennox, Rowlene, Tellaman and more.
