Nigerian rapper and singer Odumodublvck has ignited fresh excitement in the music industry with the unveiling of the “Side A” tracklist for his highly anticipated album, Industry Machine.

The tracklist begins with the album’s title song, Industry Machine, before diving into a string of heavyweight collaborations. Among the most talked-about is Grooving, which pairs Afrobeats superstar Davido with Afrobeat legend Seun Kuti, a collaboration already tipped as one of the project’s standout moments.

Odumodublvck, born Tochukwu Ojogwu, described “Side A” as only half of the project, hinting that an equally loaded “Side B” is yet to be revealed. This tease has fueled speculation about even bigger surprises to come, with fans eagerly anticipating which other names could feature.

The eclectic lineup underscores Odumodublvck’s reputation for unpredictability and versatility, seamlessly blending genres, eras, and cultures. The album artwork, stamped with a Parental Advisory label, also suggests that he will retain the raw, unfiltered style that has set him apart in Nigeria’s rap scene.

With Industry Machine still only partially unveiled, the buzz continues to build. If “Side A” is anything to go by, Odumodublvck’s new album could prove to be more than just another release—it may well be a defining cultural moment.

The 16-track project, arriving after 2023’s I Love It Here, captures the Durban-born star at a pivotal moment in his career, one defined by artistic independence and personal growth.

As the title suggests, Free is a celebration of liberation. Breaking away from the constraints of major labels, Nasty C delivers a body of work that thrives on experimentation, emotional honesty, and cultural fusion.

Speaking to Apple Music, he explained: “This album was inspired by feeling free to be creative and do all sorts of different new stuff, and experience some new things.”

From high-energy cuts like Intro and Shmokin, to heartfelt numbers such as Selfish, the project balances swagger with sensitivity. On That’s Whassup, he revisits his come-up in the South African hip-hop scene, while MSP blends local slang and satire to clap back at detractors. Each track builds on themes of defiance, reflection, and joy, offering a panoramic view of Nasty C’s evolution.

Musically, the album is a tapestry of styles. Trap rhythms rub shoulders with Afrobeats grooves and even touches of maskandi, a traditional Zulu sound, giving the record a distinct cultural depth. Production credits include Cxdy, DoppyBeatz, and Spaced Time, whose work ranges from club-shaking beats to soul-stirring instrumentals.

The guest list is equally dynamic: Blxckie brings firepower on Leftie (Dlala Ngcobo), Usimamane injects grit into Soft, DJ Speedsta amplifies MSP with sharp social commentary, Tellaman adds melodic shine, and Tshego closes the album on a sleek, confident note with Not Tonight.

Visually, the project is accompanied by bold, crimson artwork, mirroring its themes of resilience, freedom, and self-determination. Songs like “FTW” and “Not Tonight” act as bookends, cementing the album’s bold, uncompromising energy.

Early reviews have hailed Free as one of Nasty C’s most defining works, with critics applauding its genre-fluid production and emotional vulnerability.

Fans have also been buzzing online, with industry peers including Kid Cudi, saluting the release. Meanwhile, tracks such as Switch, teased earlier through a Doritos South Africa collaboration, have only amplified the excitement.

With Free, Nasty C isn’t just releasing an album — he’s stamping his authority as a trailblazer. It’s a project that not only cements his standing in South African hip-hop but also reinforces his growing reputation as a global force.

The track signifies his return to the forefront after embracing independence in his career. Not only did Nasty C produce the song under his alter ego Czzle, but he also built anticipation through cryptic social media teasers and striking visuals, generating excitement across platforms like SA Hip Hop Mag and Zkhiphani ahead of its release on May 6.

“Psychic” is a hard-hitting, introspective track that highlights Nasty C’s lyrical dexterity and his ability to blend various genres—a hallmark of his artistry since his 2015 mixtape Price City.

The song delves into his experiences, exploring themes of navigating interactions with haters, fans, and close confidants. A teaser earlier this week featured the bold line:

Produced by Nasty C himself, the beat is described as “hard-sounding” with a dynamic flow, showcasing his evolution since the release of his 2023 album I Love It Here, which earned over 120 million streams for Strings And Bling alone.

This release marks a significant milestone in Nasty C’s career as he takes full creative control in 2025. Operating on a “higher plane,” he balances fatherhood, fitness, and consistent visual content, aligning with his earlier statements about the importance of artistic autonomy:

“I am still me and no matter what deals I sign; I am not letting anyone dictate my sound or image.”
“Psychic” embodies this sentiment, offering an unfiltered glimpse into his journey while reinforcing his reputation as “The Coolest Kid in Africa.”
