The new record marks another moment in a partnership that has continued to grow over the years, with the two artists once again showing why their collaborations have remained some of the most anticipated whenever they reunite.
Having built careers that have seen them become influential names within South Africa’s evolving hip-hop and R&B landscape, Nasty C and Tellaman’s connection goes back years.

From the early days of their collaborations to fan favourites such as “Don’t Do It”, “25”, “S.A.P.”, “Whipped”, and more recently, “Big Timing”, the two have consistently delivered records that showcase their ability to complement each other without either artist losing their own sound. Nasty C’s sharp lyricism and Tellaman’s smooth vocal approach have created a formula that continues to resonate with listeners across the continent.
With Call Me, that connection is once again on full display. The single introduces listeners to the direction of T’s & C’s Apply, offering a glimpse into a project that has been years in the making. Rather than being a collaboration created around a single moment, the album represents the result of a creative relationship that has developed naturally through years of studio sessions, shared experiences and a genuine understanding of each other’s artistry.
The record arrives at an interesting point in both artists’ journeys. Nasty C continues to expand his influence as one of Africa’s leading rap exports, while Tellaman has remained one of South Africa’s most respected voices in contemporary R&B, consistently building a catalogue centered around emotion, creativity and musical versatility.

That shared history is what makes T’s & C’s Apply stand out. In an era where many collaborations are built around short-term moments, Nasty C and Tellaman’s partnership has always felt like an ongoing creative conversation. Each release adds another layer to their story, showing the growth of two artists who have continued evolving individually while still finding ways to create together.
“Call Me” serves as the opening chapter of this next phase, setting the tone for a project that brings together years of experience, friendship and musical chemistry. It is not simply another collaboration between two established artists, but a continuation of a relationship that has been shaping South African music for years.
With anticipation now building around T’s & C’s Apply, Nasty C and Tellaman are reminding audiences why their link-ups have always carried a different kind of excitement; because when the two connect, it feels less like a feature and more like a reunion.
