The self-proclaimed “coolest kid in Africa,” South African rapper and producer Nasty C draws influence from plenty of music originating outside of his native Durban, but few genres have influenced him in the way that American hip-hop has. His Black Music Month 2019 playlist features some of his latest favorites from artists like Future, Young Thug, Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, and Travis Scott. "I chose these songs because I relate to them,” Nasty says. “They’re all either about something I do, did, have, had, or want, badly. Plus, they’re all super dope and very creative songs.”
