Nasty C Details Why ‘SMA’ Takes The Cake In His Catalogue. In a recent candid interview with MTV Base, South Africa’s award-winning rapper, Nasty C, opened up about the track in his extensive catalogue that he holds closest to his heart: “SMA.”
When asked by the interviewer which song he considers his all-time favourite, the one he believes no other track can surpass, Nasty C’s answer was unequivocal: “SMA.” But what is it about this particular track that has earned it such a revered place in his body of work?
For Nasty C, it isn’t just about the song’s commercial success or its impact on his career. It’s about the authenticity and artistry that went into its creation. “SMA is one of those songs where a true story, everything word for word, and the way it was put together was so beautiful,” he explained, highlighting the personal connection he has with the track.
The lyrics resonate deeply with Nasty C, as they tell a raw and honest story from his life, giving fans an intimate glimpse into his emotions and experiences. The song’s structure is another aspect Nasty C praises. “It has this very soothing chorus, and these very climatic verses that are very explosive for energy and stuff,” he elaborated.
The contrast between the mellow, heartfelt chorus and the intense, high-energy verses creates a dynamic balance that draws listeners in, making “SMA” not just a track, but an experience. It’s a musical journey that takes listeners through various emotional highs and lows, something that, according to Nasty C, made it a perfect song in every sense.
Despite the track’s perfection in his eyes, Nasty C remains focused on growth and progression. “The goal is to beat it,” he said. It’s clear that the artist continues to push himself to evolve, but with “SMA” setting the bar, he’s also created a masterpiece that will stand the test of time in his catalogue.
