We had our quickest quickie ever with DJ Euphonik

Cape Town - Following the success of his highly anticipated summer hit Don’t Wanna Be Your Friend, DJ Euphonik has released a hot new remix of dynamic South African newcomer, Nasty C’s, Hell Naw. 

"The track is special because it enabled me to remix another artist’s music for the first time in five years," says Euphonik.

Euphonik’s remix of Hell Naw offers a fresh perspective on both the source material and the music genre for which it was created.

Nasty C’s thoughts? He’s all for it! "The remix is dope! Euphonik’s spin on Hell Naw takes it to the next level. I can’t wait for it to be on the airwaves."

The 19-year-old David Ngcobo, better known as Nasty C, is already making waves in the local music industry with his original sound and tongue-in-cheek attitude. The youngest recipient of the Best Newcomer Award at the 2015 South African Hip Hop Awards, Nasty C has collaborated with a number of well known South African artists, including AKA, Tumi, Cassper Nyovest and Anatii.
