One of South Africa’s most iconic rap voices, Nasty C, delivers a heartfelt track titled “Head Up”, and this one cuts deep.

It’s part of his latest album Free, a project that’s already picking up buzz for its emotional range and lyrical strength.

On “Head Up”, Nasty C trades the hard bars for something more reflective. The beat is mellow, steady, and gives him enough space to speak freely. The lyrics speak to pain, healing, and self-reminders to keep pushing, real-life themes anyone can relate to.

This isn’t just a track for fans of heavy bars; it’s one of those songs that hits different when you’re alone, thinking. Nasty C clearly put heart into this one, and it shows.
