Nasty C releases new song featuring A$AP Ferg

In the build up towards his second album, Nasty C has released two new singles: King and Jungle.

Jungle is a happy song, and a meditation of Nasty’s experience of the jungle that is Johannesburg.

“The jungle is ekasi where anything and everything happens,” said Nasty C. “It’s where people live recklessly. There are no rules because you can do whatever you want. The jungle is also Joburg. A lot more stuff happens there than what happened when I used to be in Durban. Those two meanings are intertwined.”

King is a tongue-in-cheek look at misguided youth, who refer to themselves as “young kings.”

It features American rapper, A$AP Ferg, who recorded his verse during a visit to South Africa. “It’s not like I’m calling myself king,” explained Nasty C. “It’s about these kids who talk too much and I’m mocking the term ‘king’ because of how those guys call each other that.”
