“Working hard just to live soft,” he spits — ice-cold bars wrapped in confidence, hunger, and ambition. He references Rick Ross, drops lines like “Ice need a defrost,” and makes it clear: the grind made the lifestyle.
From Durban to the world, Nasty C delivers once again — this time teaming up with Usimamane on the official music video for “Soft.” The track slaps on its own, but the visual direction? Next level. It's minimalist, surreal, and stylish — a fresh take on trap elegance.
Right away, the video pulls you into a white-and-blue dreamscape. The title rolls out in a fur-textured blue font, setting the tone. The background stays clean and white, letting every detail stand out — from the icy jewelry to the sharp blue-and-white fits both artists wear. Even the background dancers — real people, not props — are styled in full blue, moving in sync with the beat and reinforcing the aesthetic with every step.
But it’s the blue clay model cars that really flip the concept. Instead of flashy real-life rides, the duo uses toy-like clay vehicles as playful stand-ins. It’s creative, symbolic, and on-brand with the “soft” theme — almost like saying, "We came from playing with toy cars to dreaming about real ones."
Nasty C slides through with signature finesse. “Working hard just to live soft,” he spits — ice-cold bars wrapped in confidence, hunger, and ambition. He references Rick Ross, drops lines like “Ice need a defrost,” and makes it clear: the grind made the lifestyle.
Usimamane follows up strong, delivering raw honesty in every bar. He brings the streets into the frame, from no money to record to now counting racks and hopping out a Porsche. His story is one of resilience, balancing Nasty’s smoothness with something grittier.
In the end, “Soft” is more than a track. It’s a whole aesthetic — a vision of Mzansi luxury, built on real struggle, imagination, and flawless execution.
