Nasty C New Album
We always love it when our faves give fans their new body of work and Nasty C never disappoints.
His hard work definitely paid off and in an exclusive interview with ZAlebs the rapper says fans can expect great music from this masterpiece. The album features some dope collabos with T.I., Ari Lennox, Rowlene, Tellaman and a few others. Speaking on choosing his collaborations he says.
"It just happened naturally I guess because with regards to me and Tellaman whenever I feel like I have a song I call him and we get to the studio and make it. With the international guys it was a matter of them hearing about me, or the people that know me that side when they are in the studios they make the connections and all I do is just to find a song that is perfect send it and make it out."
However, before the release of the great album there were some mishaps and the fans were not impressed at all.
