A few days ahead of the release of his fifth solo studio album ‘I Love It Here’, Nasty C invited some media friends and collaborators on a musical journey at Zwartkops Racetrack in Centurion on Monday night.
The exclusive experience started off with a guided racing experience on Zwartkops track and skidpan obstacle courses with several cars of the Mercedes fleet during the afternoon.
Afterwards, invitees got to enjoy a listening session of the entire album. The listening session also included performances from Nasty C and 25K, who’s featured on the upcoming album.
Apart from 25K, the upcoming album also features afro pop star Ami Faku, US rapper Benny The Butcher, frequent collaborator Tellaman, R&B vocalist Manana, and Maglera Doe Boy.
Several clips have been circulating online from the listening session:
“#ILoveItHere 👁️🔥📍 Nasty C Listening Session,” shared Trace.

The 26-year-old has been trending over the past few days after a video emerged online of him punching and kicking a fan who jumped onto the stage during his performance in Zambia.
In the video, security can be seen quickly intervening as the fan falls to the ground before Nasty C tries to get one more kick in. The music is then cut as the fan is dragged off stage and back into the crowd.
“Nasty C punches a fan in Zambia during his performance,” shared SA Hip Hop Feeds.
