A decade after Nasty C made his debut with Bad Hair<\/strong> on Audiomack, the prominent South African hip-hop artist is marking the occasion by releasing an unheard track from that era.<\/p>\n

Nasty C has unveiled A Star Is Born<\/em>, featuring the legendary South African rapper Riky Rick and American actor and poet Omari Hardwick, available exclusively on Audiomack<\/strong>. This collaboration showcases distinct voices and offers long-time supporters a chance to revisit a significant moment in Nasty C’s initial career phase.<\/p>\n

This track was meant to be included in Bad Hair<\/strong> but was excluded from the official release due to issues with sample clearance. Now, ten years on, it has finally surfaced on the same platform that played a crucial role in the success of Nasty C\u2019s first project.<\/p>\n

The release is part of Audiomack’s celebration of ten years since the launch of Bad Hair<\/strong>, which played a vital role in establishing Nasty C’s wide appeal and serving as a foundation for his ongoing career.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new track, Audiomack<\/strong> has introduced a dedicated Nasty C Hub, providing a centralized location for his musical works and career narrative. Fans can explore Bad Hair<\/strong> as well as other materials while new audiences can discover music that influenced his formative years.<\/p>\n

Charlotte Bwana, Vice President of Marketing at Audiomack<\/strong>, spoke about the significance of this anniversary, acknowledging the platform\u2019s connection to the project and viewing the return of A Star Is Born<\/em> as a chance to revisit a key segment of Nasty C’s history.<\/p>\n

For Nasty C, this release allows his audience to hear a song he had long desired to share. \u201cTen years ago, I decided to leak my album on Audiomack because I couldn\u2019t clear one specific song that was dear to my heart,\u201d he stated. \u201cA decade later, I\u2019ve decided to finally put this song out so my fans can enjoy what I couldn\u2019t release back then.\u201d<\/p>\n

He expressed gratitude to his listeners for their continued support over the years, saying, \u201cTo my day ones, thank you for riding with me for all these years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nasty C Hub and the exclusive release of A Star Is Born<\/em> became available on Audiomack<\/strong> starting 23 September 2026, providing fans with the opportunity to revisit the roots of his journey while enjoying a track that has been unreleased for a decade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
