South African rapper Nadia Nakai paired up with Priddy Ugly for the first iteration of this year's Bacardi Live Sessions. The series sees two artists (one established, and the other up-and-coming) pairing up for a performance in which the emerging artist performs their songs.

Priddy Ugly performed three songs in front of Nadia Nakai who was chilling like the boss she is in the background. Priddy Ugly's set consisted of "Tshela" from his 2017 album E.G.Y.P.T. and two new songs to be included in the deluxe version of the album releasing this Friday.

Priddy Ugly's stage presence is unmatched—he's light on his feet, and him and his producer Wichi 1080, always display chemistry be it on live shows or records.

Below, are some photos from behind the scenes of the session, which is yet to be released online.

The performance was a taste of what we can expect from Priddy Ugly when he has his Bacardi House Party Session on 26 January 2019.
