Nadia Nakai and Toss New EP Do’s & Dont’s
Remember the kiss that broke timelines on Valentine’s Day? Nadia Nakai and Toss are turning that viral moment into a full joint project. Their new EP, Do’s & Dont’s, drops 18 September 2026 on all major streaming platforms — and it’s built entirely around the messy, complicated space their music video moment left fans speculating about in the first place.
From a Kiss to a Concept
Earlier this year, a kiss shared between Nadia Nakai and Toss in his Valentine’s Day music video set off immediate dating rumours and speculation about what was actually going on between them. Rather than let that speculation fade, the pair leaned directly into it — turning the “what’s really going on here” energy into the entire creative premise of Do’s & Dont’s.
The EP’s tagline says it plainly: “Two Worlds. Two Perspectives. One Complicated Relationship.”
Two Different Worlds, One Story
The project’s core idea is genuinely simple and effective: two people falling for each other despite coming from completely different backgrounds. Toss brings a perspective shaped by the hood; Nadia Nakai brings hers from a suburban upbringing. Across the EP, that contrast plays out in how they communicate, express love, handle conflict, and understand loyalty — not as an abstract theme, but as the lived difference between the two artists themselves.
Track by track, the pair walk through a relationship’s full arc — attraction, excitement, arguments, jealousy, trust issues, and the ongoing struggle to meet each other halfway. The structure gives each song both sides of the same story, letting the same moment land differently depending on whose perspective you’re hearing.
A Sound Neither Fanbase Will Expect
Here’s the twist: Do’s & Dont’s isn’t a Hip Hop and Amapiano fusion project, even though that’s exactly what pairing Nadia Nakai (commanding Hip Hop presence) with Toss (established Amapiano figure) might suggest. Instead, both artists step outside their known lanes entirely, landing on a sound that doesn’t neatly belong to either of their established identities.
That’s a deliberate risk — one aimed squarely at proving neither artist is confined to a single genre, even if it means surprising the fans who came in expecting something more familiar.
More Than a Love Story
Underneath the romance framing, Do’s & Dont’s is really about class, culture, and communication — what happens when two people raised with fundamentally different ideas of what a relationship should look like try to build something together anyway. It’s pitched as honest, playful, emotional, and relatable in equal measure — a front-row seat to two different worlds colliding, chaos included.

The EP turns the chemistry and speculation surrounding the pair into a full musical concept, moving through attraction, conflict, jealousy, trust and the complications that come with two very different worlds colliding.
Bottom Line
Plenty of collabs get built around a single viral moment and never go anywhere beyond a cash-in single. Nadia Nakai and Toss have gone the other direction — using that moment as the actual concept for a full project, then deliberately avoiding the obvious genre mashup fans might expect. Whether or not the “relationship” was ever real, Do’s & Dont’s is betting the tension itself is worth a full EP’s worth of storytelling.
