Nasty C’s \u201cFREE\u201d Album Exits South Africa’s Apple Music Top 10. \u201cFree\u201d by Nasty C has dropped out of the top 10 on South Africa’s Apple Music Albums chart for the first time since its debut, now positioned at No. 11 as of today. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This development was initially noted by music commentator 2022 Africa, while independent charting services monitoring Apple Music in real time have confirmed the album’s current No. 11 status in South Africa as of September 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

The album’s decline follows its release on September 12, when Nasty C introduced a 16-track collection under Tall Racks. According to the Apple Music album page, the release date is officially noted as 12 September 2025, featuring a total runtime of 39 minutes that contributed to a strong initial performance across digital streaming platforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cFree\u201d has also achieved significant success beyond South Africa, reaching No. 1 on various national Apple Music album charts and garnering international attention shortly after its launch, a trend highlighted by local media covering its early success.<\/p>\n

Despite the shift in rankings, the album’s themes continue to resonate. Early critiques emphasize Nasty C\u2019s emphasis on self-empowerment, fatherhood, and a more relaxed creative approach, marking this chapter as a reinvention rather than a sidetrack. This thematic coherence has facilitated a connection with listeners while paving the way for the rapper’s forthcoming promotional efforts.<\/p>\n

The drop to No. 11 should not be interpreted as a decline; rather, it serves as an assessment of current standing. With new visuals, radio campaigns, and upcoming performances still on the horizon, \u201cFree\u201d is just one significant release away from reclaiming a position in the Top 10. As it stands, after an 18-day tenure in the upper tier, Nasty C’s latest work is just on the outskirts, poised for another potential ascent. <\/a><\/div>\n
