Toronto rapper Frost leads his newest single Frost Clean Me Up with NAV as the featured voice, and SOCAN Magazine named the record its Song of the Week on November 3, 2026. The single flips the billing from August, when NAV led and Frost featured, and it gives one of the most connected writers in the Toronto rappers scene a headline moment of his own.

Frost Clean Me Up flips the August billing
The partnership runs in both directions. On August 25, 2026, NAV released POP MY SHIT featuring Frost, produced by Money Musik and TOOM, which uDiscover Music identified as Frost’s first official feature on a NAV song. Clean Me Up answers it with Frost in the lead chair. SOCAN describes the new record as a sensual track built on a sticky, staccato beat, and credits the writing to Frost, Nav and Gianni Spadafora, who works as Johnny Hills.
The track is “elevating Frost’s sound as one to watch out for in the city’s hip-hop scene.” SOCAN Magazine, Song of the Week, November 3, 2026
A writer steps in front of the record
Frost’s name has travelled through Toronto sessions for years before it travelled on a marquee. He is a Jamaican-Canadian rapper, songwriter and producer from the ADX collective, and his writing credits inside the NAV catalogue include Trimski, Good For It and KEEP GOING. That history matters for how Clean Me Up should be read. This is not a new artist buying a feature from a bigger name. It is a longtime collaborator collecting the return half of a two-way exchange, with the official video, shot by Orazio and Herman Atwal, putting both performers on screen.
What the SOCAN spotlight signals
A SOCAN Song of the Week slot is a writers’ honour, and Frost is being honoured as a writer first. The selection underlines the part of his game the Toronto scene already knew about, the pen, while the single itself makes the case for the performer. Two singles in three months, one in each direction, also give the pair a small shared catalogue that neither had a year ago: POP MY SHIT in August with NAV leading, Clean Me Up this fall with Frost leading.
A partnership with a Toronto footprint
The exchange is playing out on Toronto stages as well as Toronto records. NAV returned home on September 12, 2026 to headline the 6ix Mela Festival at Sobeys Stadium, and the POP MY SHIT video was shot across the city, with fellow Toronto artist AR Paisley appearing in it. Frost’s byline sits inside that whole run, as a writer on the records and now as a co-headliner on the singles. For toronto rappers trying to convert proximity into billing, the Frost path is the working example: write on the catalogue first, then take the feature, then take the lead.
For listeners keeping score at home, Clean Me Up is the cleaner entry point. The beat leaves space, the hook does the heavy lifting, and NAV’s feature arrives as a cosign rather than a takeover. Frost has spent years making other Toronto records work from the credits. On Clean Me Up, the credit at the top of the page is his.
