Nasty C – Head Up | Mp3 Download
“Head Up” is one of the 16 tracks on Nasty C‘s fifth studio album Free, released 12 September 2025 through Tall Racks Records. The genre is Hip Hop / Rap, but like many tracks on Free, it leans into a mix of live instrumentation and motivational themes.
According to Nasty C’s own commentary, “Head Up” was produced by RJ Banks. For this song, Nasty C brought his band into the studio to add live elements—this suggests parts of the arrangement (maybe drums, guitars, or other live instruments) are organic rather than fully digital/beat-machine produced. Lyrically and thematically the song is about staying positive, keeping focus on your goals (“eyes on the prize”), and not letting external noise (criticism, expectations, haters) derail your mission.
“Head Up” sits in the album’s middle-section, where Nasty C seems to move from more atmospheric or vibe-songs toward ones with message and reflection. In context, it reinforces the album’s overall theme of freedom—creative freedom, self-direction, and persistence. It feels like a charge (or a reminder) both to himself and to listeners: when people doubt or don’t understand, one should keep going.
