BABYDAIZ DROPS “MATISA” – LIFTING THE CULTURE

Published

on

BabyDaiz is back with “Matisa”, a track built to move bodies, hearts, and the spirit of African music.

After his breakout “Enemies” – hailed by Nasty C as having the “greatest music video in South African history” – and the viral TikTok anthem “Top! Masambe”, BabyDaiz cemented himself as a true culture shaper. “Allez Tobina” followed, fusing high-energy African rhythms with world-class production, earning him stages alongside Africa’s biggest stars and millions of fans across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Spotify.

Now, “Matisa” – meaning “lift it up” in Lingala – arrives, produced by Astro and Mathew Otis. It’s a spiritual rise through rhythm, rage, and ancestral energy, blending South African roots with global influence.

This isn’t just a single – it’s a statement. African music is leading the world, and BabyDaiz is lifting the culture higher than ever.

Nasty C Explains Why He Won’t Do A Tswayza Interview

Published

on

Here’s a merged and polished version:

Nasty C recently addressed whether he would ever appear on Tswayza’s platform, revealing that he currently has no plans to do so despite having great respect for the show.

The rapper praised the production and described it as a valuable platform, even expressing hope that it continues to grow and attract major investment in the future.

“I hope a brand comes through and they give them a mega budget,” he said.

Despite his admiration for the platform, Nasty C admitted that he has no personal interest in sitting down for an interview on the show at this stage of his career.

“I personally do not want to do it,” he stated.

While explaining his reluctance, the rapper acknowledged that he doesn’t fully understand the reason himself. He dismissed the idea that fear is holding him back, suggesting it may simply come down to comfort, motivation, or knowing where he feels he fits.

“Maybe at some stage my feelings will change,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s just like I’m too nervous — that’s not the word. Maybe lazy? Maybe I’m too lazy to do something like that? I don’t know.”

Nasty C further explained that his decision is tied to a personal feeling that he does not belong on the platform right now.

“I feel like people should know where they belong. I don’t belong there. I don’t wanna do that.”

However, he was careful to ensure that his comments were not interpreted as criticism of the show. Before ending the discussion, he doubled down on his admiration for the platform and urged that his praise be included alongside any headlines.

Although he has no plans to appear at the moment, Nasty C made it clear that his feelings could change in the future. His comments have since sparked conversation among fans, many of whom would still like to see the rapper make an appearance on the show one day.
