There is something quietly telling about a track that takes years of friendship, shared studios and invisible labour to finally arrive. ‘POP MY SHIT’, released on 21 August 2026 according to HotNewHipHop, represents the NAV and Frost collaboration that listeners who have followed either artist closely always knew was coming. Produced by Money Musik and TOOM, and accompanied by a music video directed by Orazio, it is not simply another single release. It is, for better or worse, a document of how long creative debts can quietly accumulate before they get their official credit.
The NAV and Frost Collaboration That Predates the Fame
The history here runs deeper than a feature credit might suggest. Before NAV’s career as a recording artist took off, the dynamic between these two was effectively reversed: Frost was the artist, NAV the one producing beats, handling recording and engineering. That division of labour eventually shifted, but the closeness of the working relationship did not. Frost has writing credits on ‘Trimski’, ‘Good For It’ and ‘KEEP GOING’, threading himself through NAV’s catalogue without ever appearing on the front of it.
‘POP MY SHIT’ corrects that, at least in formal terms. It is, as confirmed by uDiscover Music, Frost’s first official feature on a NAV song, and the video was shot in Toronto, the city that shaped both artists. That detail matters. The 808-heavy production, with its bouncing hi-hats and the particular low-end pressure that has become a signature of NAV’s records, sounds like it belongs to a specific geography. Toronto’s rap scene has always had a relationship with restraint and texture over maximalism, and this track sits comfortably in that lineage.
The two trade lines and verses around the familiar currency of this world: money, status, luxury. What makes the back-and-forth function, though, is less the subject matter and more the ease of two people who have clearly been finishing each other’s sentences in the studio for years. You do not manufacture that kind of relaxed shorthand. It is either there or it is not.
Production, Performance and a Live Schedule That Follows Quickly
Money Musik and TOOM keep the production uncluttered. The 808s are front and centre, the hi-hats give the track its bounce, and the mix leaves room for the vocal performances to sit naturally in the pocket rather than fighting for space. It is not a production that tries to announce itself, which is precisely why it works. NAV’s approach has always favoured atmosphere over ornamentation, and ‘POP MY SHIT’ holds to that.
The timing of the release, arriving just before a run of live dates in late August, September and early October, means that this collaboration lands with the momentum of live performance behind it. NAV is scheduled to appear at the Summer Rap Music Festival at Red River Exhibition Park in Winnipeg on 29 August before joining Young Thug as a special guest across the North American leg of The New Generation Tour, which runs from 1 September through to 4 October. On 12 September, he returns to Toronto to headline 6ix Mela Festival at Sobeys Stadium, a homecoming that gives the Toronto-shot video an added resonance.
For those who have paid attention to the supporting architecture of NAV’s records, seeing Frost’s name on the front of a release rather than buried in the writing credits feels less like an introduction and more like an acknowledgement. Republic Records may be the commercial vehicle, but the story behind ‘POP MY SHIT’ is an older and more personal one: two collaborators from the same city, working through the same rooms, finally sharing the same song title card.
