NC (Nonstop Creativity) has officially unveiled his latest single, East Side, a nostalgic hip hop/rap anthem that captures the essence of childhood summers, golden-hour memories, and the timeless thrill of late-night drives. More than just another release, East Side is a heartfelt reflection of life’s fleeting moments, born during a mixing and mastering course at ICMP in London, where inspiration struck in the most unexpected way.
The story behind the track is just as striking as its sound. During a collaborative session, NC stumbled upon an instrumental meant for another artist. The beat immediately triggered a flood of emotions — snapshots of growing up, the glow of endless summer evenings, and the bittersweet weight of nostalgia. Determined to do the music justice, NC teamed up with his longtime collaborator DJ Wardy Music, spending months refining every detail until the track carried both sincerity and undeniable impact. The result is a standout anthem that resonates with raw honesty and universal appeal.
East Side is more than a nostalgic rap single — it’s a captivating showcase of NC’s artistry. The track thrives on its evocative storytelling, pairing smooth lyrical delivery with production that feels both modern and timeless. NC’s ability to weave memory into melody creates an atmosphere that’s intimate yet powerful, making the record linger long after it ends. It’s a release that demonstrates not just talent but authentic vision, placing NC firmly among artists who create with both heart and purpose.
The campaign is far from over. A music video for East Side is already in development, promising to reflect the single’s soulful energy with imagery of sunlit streets, glowing skies, and youthful spirit. True to his collaborative ethos, NC is inviting fans to help shape the visual concept, making the project not only his story but also a shared experience with the people who connect most deeply to his art.
Beyond the single, NC’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. After managing a $1.7 billion finance portfolio for a decade, he traded corporate spreadsheets for creative expression, pouring his story into music, painting, and design. His earlier works — Dreams with Mic Righteous, So Done, Dear Dad, and La Fleur — established him as a fearless storyteller unafraid to tackle ambition, grief, and rebirth. His artistry even extends to visual work, where he contributed to a Guinness World Record event painting Sir Lenny Henry alongside hundreds of artists, showing his commitment to creativity in all its forms.
With East Side, NC proves that he is more than a rapper — he is a complete artist, one who fuses intellect with emotion, discipline with imagination. The single isn’t just a soundtrack for summer; it’s a timeless reminder of how music can turn memories into something everlasting.
