From SoundCloud to Stardom: Scumie’s 066, Vol. 3 Shows She’s One of Hip-Hop’s Next Big Names . Rising South African rapper, singer, and producer Scumie has officially released her highly anticipated new album, 066, Vol. 3 — the latest installment in her acclaimed 066 series. The 13-track project marks a bold evolution in Scumie’s career, following her breakout albums 066 (2021) and 066, Vol. 2, which first introduced her to the South African SoundCloud scene and helped her gain early recognition as a rising hip-hop talent.
066, Vol. 3 features powerhouse collaborations with Zimbabwean-South African superstar Nadia Nakai, as well as Qwellers’ Yungboyvegeta & Lowfeye, blending dynamic local and cross-border hip-hop sounds. Every track showcases Scumie’s signature mix of raw lyrical intensity, melodic flair, and atmospheric production — cementing her as one of the most exciting voices in South African rap and contemporary hip-hop.
“This album is me — raw in a curated way,” Scumie says. “066, Vol. 3 is about evolution. Disillusioned, but front row at Paris Fashion Week.”
The 066 series has long acted as a living archive of Scumie’s artistic journey:
● 066 (2021) captured raw instinct and underground energy.
● 066, Vol. 2 sparked industry attention and built momentum.
● 066, Vol. 3 represents refinement and growth — a confident, restless project that shows
Scumie embracing both her strength and vulnerability.
From start to finish, 066, Vol. 3 is a sonic exploration of self-realisation, aesthetic power, and subtle rebellion. Each track moves like a blurred Polaroid — imperfect, grainy, yet intensely alive — drawing listeners into an immersive world of authentic South African rap.
Scumie personally produced track 1, and the album features production from some of South Africa’s hottest new wave producers, including: BeatsByNxRTH, Brotherkupa, Chetey Chetey, Guapo & NNoah, HUDS, HUDS & Zackey, Joey Manson, N.k.v.y, NotBenjamin and internationally acclaimed American producer The Alchemist.
With this release, 066, Vol. 3 solidifies Scumie’s position as a leading figure in the African hip-hop landscape, bridging underground credibility with mainstream appeal. The album is now available on all major streaming platforms worldwide, marking another milestone in her rapidly ascending career.

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.
