Popular South African hip-hop artiste, Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo, professionally known as Nasty C, has claimed that he is the best rapper in Africa at the moment.
The ‘Zulu Man With Some Power’ crooner stated this in a recent interview with Glitch Africa where he said: ‘I am not the biggest rapper in Africa. Am I the best rapper in Africa? I think so.’
During the interview, he also listed M.I, Olamide, Phyno, Odumodublvck, and Blaqbonez as his top 5 Nigerian rappers.
He noted that the list was a personal favourite.
The ‘Coolest Kid In Africa’ crooner mentioned legends like M.I Abaga, Olamide and Phyno while also acknowledging newbies like Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In an interview with Glitch Africa, Nasty C was asked to list his top 5 Nigerian rappers and he said, ‘My top 5 Nigerian rappers? I wanna say M.I number one, Olamide, Phyno… Is Manifest from here [Nigeria]? Okay, he is from Ghana. Damn!
‘Yeah, I wanna say Oddy, he played me a lot of his tracks. Odumodublvck for sure, is my number four. And then Blaqbonez. Blaqbonez is my guy. One of my homies had asked me, ‘How do you know this guy [Blaqbonez]?’. I was like I’ve known him for like a couple of years ago. Maybe four years ago.’
‘At first, he [Blaqbonez] was someone I just came across with such good energy. He was funny on social media and I like to do that kind of stuff on social media. When I really started listening to his music, I was like, ‘Yo, he is actually hard.’ So, he is definitely my number five.’
In another development, popular French disc jockey and record producer, David Guetta, has described Nigerian music sensation, Ayra Starr as the new version of Barbadian-American superstar, Rihanna even as he predicted that she’s set to be the biggest export out of Africa.
The Frenchman pointed out that Ayra Starr’s music is unique and has the potential to attract a global audience.
