@Nasty_CSA Drops "no big deal" Freestyle On All Streaming Platforms

It feels as it were just yesterday when Nasty C surprised the whole music industry with his highly reflective freestyle 'no big deal'. The freestyle was initially released on YouTube before receiving clearance from the producer to release it on all DSPs and I am glad to announce that the freestyle is officially out on all streaming platforms but before we tap into that let's explore the substance of the freestyle once again as I have much more understanding around it.

So I received a link to an exclusive virtual interview that Nasty C did with Ghanian presenter 'Keely-Jade Brewer' for 'The African Playlist' show and they had a lot to spill around the 'Ivyson Army Mixtape' and the 'no big deal' freestyle as he addressed numerous issues in the freestyle that he felt it was about time to let go off from his chest such as the 'A-Reece feud' and 'Sarkodie situation' as well as the betrayal he felt from 2 of his closest friends.

The interview was opened up by a question around the EMA live performance as he was asked if 'he ever dreamt on being on the EMA stage' and he responded "I mean of course...yeah...these are the stages I used to see all my idols coming up as a kid, just coming back from school and watching TV, waiting for the EMAs or MTV awards in general like all of them. I would always want to see which artist is going to get which award, which artist is going to perform what song and stuff like that and I always saw myself in their shoes so yeah I definitely saw myself on that stage." 

The interview was further expanded on 'How Nasty C still tops the charts even when he goes off the grid?' and he responded "I guess it is the love I get from my fans and the people that support me like the DJs and stuff like that and the music itself, I guess it does something and it speaks to people in a way that is beyond my control even when I am not in front of your face all the time, the music is still there to speak to you kind of thing."

Now moving back to the freestyle, many at first thought it was a diss track to the mentioned artists but then as you listen more and more to the freestyle, you begin to understand that he means no harm, if anything he is just speaking his truth and however way it received is beyond him. He even says it in the song, "Just getting sh*t off my chest, you know. And I can promise you, I mean no malice to anybody I spoke on. None"

'no big deal' may be considered as just a freestyle but once again I will emphasise on the type of therapy it offers the artist as it gives them closure and allows them to be more free mentally and just the ability to express how you feel and the state of your mind can help you 10x more than just holding onto negative thoughts of which have power of holding us back. 

The story between and him Sarkodie really opened up my eyes on how to handle certain situations as at times it can be highly immature to hold onto old stuff as these things do affect us and they honestly end up becoming self-inflicted pain because it is not as if the person is doing us dirty over and over again. 

If anything, I learnt the importance of letting go and just finding humility in everything you do because one moment you can be in the sky and being unable to see the ground and next thing you are on the ground face flat with no support so take care of yourself and constantly protect your space as well as finding your ground in every situation as not everything lasts forever so learn to forgive.

I love how he also was very much self-aware of the state of the situation and by him releasing the freestyle allows him to feel much better without having to be asked over and over again about the things of the past. 'no big deal' was in high demand and now that it is out on all streaming platforms, I can have it on repeat over and over again without having to stress about ads as it is therapy to my ears. It goes on to show how music can speak to one in various ways as stated in the interview.
