South African music stars Nadia Nakai and Toss are joining forces for their highly anticipated collaborative EP, Do’s & Dont’s – a project exploring the challenges, misunderstandings and unspoken rules that come with modern relationships.
The project stems from a viral moment that captured the attention of fans earlier this year, when Nadia Nakai and Toss shared a kiss in Toss’s music video, which dropped on Valentine’s Day. The intimate moment immediately sparked dating rumours and speculation about the nature of their relationship, creating intrigue around the pair and setting the stage for their unexpected musical collaboration.
Built around the idea of two people falling for each other despite coming from completely different backgrounds, Do’s & Dont’s brings together Toss’s perspective from the hood and Nadia Nakai’s suburban upbringing. Their contrasting worlds influence how they communicate, express love, handle conflict and understand loyalty.
Across the project, Nadia and Toss take listeners through the different stages of a relationship – from attraction and excitement to arguments, jealousy, trust issues and the struggle to meet each other halfway. Each song offers both sides of the story, showing how the same situation can be experienced and understood very differently.
While Nadia Nakai is known for her commanding Hip Hop background and Toss has established himself within the Amapiano space, Do’s & Dont’s does not sound like what fans may expect from either artist. Instead of simply combining Hip Hop and Amapiano, the pair step outside their familiar musical worlds to create a fresh, unexpected sound that reveals new sides of them both.
The project challenges the expectations of Nadia and Toss’s existing fanbases, proving that neither artist is confined to one genre. Their contrasting styles, voices and energies come together in a way that feels surprising yet natural, giving Do’s & Dont’s its own distinct musical identity.
At its heart, Do’s & Dont’s is about more than romance. It explores class, culture, communication and the realities of building a connection when two people were raised with different ideas of what a relationship should look like.
Honest, playful, emotional and relatable, Do’s & Dont’s gives listeners a front-row seat to the beautiful – and sometimes chaotic – experience of two different worlds colliding.
Do’s & Dont’s by Nadia Nakai and Toss will be available on all major digital streaming platforms 18 September 2026.
