South African rappers Nasty C and Blxckie have officially released the music video for their recent single, Leftie (Dlala Ngcobo). The track, which had been teased in short clips prior to release, quickly gained traction online. Within just three days of its official launch on YouTube, the video has already surpassed 260,000 views, reflecting the excitement surrounding the collaboration between the two Durban-born artists.
The track serves as a major lead-up to Nasty C’s upcoming album FREE, which is scheduled to drop on September 12, 2025. Known for pushing creative boundaries, Nasty C appears to be setting the tone for the project with Leftie, both sonically and visually. The song had been previewed during his “Pass the Aux” series earlier this year and has since developed a strong following among fans even before its official release.
Musically, Leftie blends assertive lyricism with melodic undertones, offering a dynamic balance of energy and introspection. The production leans into deep bass and atmospheric layering, providing a foundation that allows both artists to deliver sharp, layered verses. Nasty C opens with a line referencing movement and elevation: “Take it from Park to Drive, take off like a Leftie.” The phrase becomes a recurring motif throughout the track, symbolizing transition, forward motion, and self-propulsion.
Nasty C’s verses incorporate personal reflections, such as fatherhood and navigating the complexities of success. At one point, he references the intimate moment of watching his newborn being breastfed, anchoring the verse in a place of vulnerability that contrasts with the high-energy delivery. Blxckie complements this with a verse that is equally confident and expressive. His tone is smooth yet forceful, maintaining lyrical agility while reinforcing the song’s themes of ambition and authenticity.
The phrase “Dlala Ngcobo,” used throughout the song and music video, has become a chant-like slogan tied to the release. It loosely translates to “Play, Ngcobo,” acting as both a rallying call and a nod to local culture. The visuals capitalize on this momentum, featuring vibrant scenes shot in South with a crowd joining in on the chant. The energy is communal and celebratory, reflecting both artists’ roots and reach.
Visually, the music video is tightly directed and edited, featuring fast-paced cuts and a raw, kinetic style and once the it dropped, it was met with immediate traction, indicating the strength of the artists’ fanbases and the effectiveness of the rollout.
With Leftie, Nasty C sets the stage for his forthcoming album, while Blxckie continues to expand his influence across genres and collaborations. The success of the video within its first few days suggests a strong reception not only for the song but also for what is to come next in their respective careers.
