NC’s latest single, East Side, is officially out now. This hip hop/rap banger serves as an ode to childhood summers, born from a serendipitous moment that sparked a wave of creativity. Conceived during a mixing and mastering course at ICMP in London, East Side captures the nostalgic spirit of carefree days and late-night drives, cementing itself as the perfect soundtrack for the season.
The track’s origin story is as compelling as its sound. NC, known as Nonstop Creative, stumbled upon an instrumental meant for another artist during a collaborative session. The beat hit like a lightning bolt, stirring memories of growing up, golden hours, and the bittersweet pull of the past. Refusing to settle, NC spent months perfecting the lyrics alongside best friend and producer DJ Wardy Music, ensuring every bar carried weight and authenticity. The result is a song that resonates with listeners, pulling them into a world of warm, reflective vibes.
NC’s East Side is a striking reminder of how powerful music can be when crafted with both soul and precision. From the first note, the single wraps listeners in a wave of warmth, blending crisp lyricism with production that radiates energy and emotion in equal measure. What sets the track apart is NC’s ability to channel personal nostalgia into a sound that feels universal — it’s reflective yet undeniably fresh. Every verse carries weight, yet nothing feels forced; instead, the record flows with effortless authenticity. East Side doesn’t just play in the background, it invites you in, making it clear that NC is an artist capable of turning lived experience into timeless art.
The music video for East Side is in the works, the campaign is already taking shape, aiming to bottle the essence of summer. The visuals are set to mirror the track’s soul, sun-drenched streets, golden-hour glow, and the echoes of youth. NC is calling for ideas to bring this vision to life, inviting fans to help craft visuals that match the track’s soulful energy.
As Nonstop Creative, NC brings a unique perspective to the game. After a decade managing a $1.7 billion portfolio in finance, he traded spreadsheets for self-expression, channeling his story into music, painting, and design. His previous tracks, Dreams with Mic Righteous, So Done, Dear Dad, and La Fleur, weave personal narratives of ambition, loss, and rebirth. Beyond music, he was one of two hundred artists to help achieve a Guinness World Record for most people painting in a single venue simultaneously. Sir Lenny Henry sat for one hour as participants painted his portrait.
With East Side, NC continues his relentless evolution, blending logic and emotion into a sound that’s as real as it gets. East Side isn’t just a track, it’s a memory waiting to be relieved.
