Nafe Smallz is counting down the hours to his rawest drop yet—IT’S NOT YOU IT’S ME mixtape lands January 30 via Ozone Music—and “SHOT CALLER” is already that ice-cold anthem, flashing lights on a life where the corner feels worlds away but never really leaves.
Dropped back in November 2025 with a moody visualizer that’s been on repeat, this one’s classic Nafe: wavy auto-tune gliding over haunting trap production from Jax Penny and Michelin Shin, all sparse keys and booming bass that build like a late-night drive through Luton streets turned penthouse views. It’s melodic UK trap at its smoothest, blending braggadocio with that detached vulnerability he’s mastered—lines about fleeting hookups at 7 a.m., chains “spilling like it’s water,” and the blunt “it’s not you, it’s me” chorus hit like a warning label on the lifestyle.
He’s the shot caller now, but never forgets the farmer roots, the military-minded youngers, or the molly cups that numb the climb. It’s less celebration, more confession: the cheques run nine-to-five and beyond, but real connection? That’s the casualty when you’re thumbing cash instead of hitting the booth.
The full mixtape? A stacked 19-tracker that feels like Nafe clearing the vault and leveling up—features from heavyweights like Clavish on “GANG GANG,” M Huncho on “LEFT OUT,” NorthSideBenji on “STRUGGLE LOOK EASY,” plus solo cuts like “SAVE ME” that keep the introspective trap wave flowing. It’s his most personal swing yet, threading street tales with luxury regrets, all while that signature melody keeps it addictive. Coming off 2024’s Ticket To The Moon and a string of independent wins, this one’s Nafe owning the bag he’s back in—Luton kid turned scene staple, dodging drama but always fit and ready, proving the glow-up’s real without forgetting where the plaques started stacking.
He’s at that peak independent stride right now, videos pulling millions, Insta buzzing with pre-save hype, and a fanbase that’s ridden since the DNA days. IT’S NOT YOU IT’S ME feels like the culmination—less apologies, more unfiltered truth over beats that slap in the whip or the club.

Lyrics of SHOT CALLER by Nafe Smallz
[Intro]
Yeah
Used To The Lights, See The Camera When It Flash
[Verse 1]
Oh Shit, I Think She Might Trip On Me When She Find Out That It’s Only The Night
But I Gotta Get Keep This Shit One Hundred, I Won’t Lie
All This Shit I’m On, I Hardly Got Time To Vibe
I Been Running Up Them Cheques Like Nine To Five And Five To Nine
I Know She Wish I’d Find The Time, Uh
Make Some Mem’s, I Ain’t Done Yet
Racing With This Money To The Sunset, Gone
Want So Many Cribs, Still Ain’t Live In Any
Man In Summer Been Spenny, Spend A Pretty Penny
You Can’t Show Me Many Things I Ain’t Did Already
Still My Younger Niggas Govern Like The Military
I Just Got My Weight Up, Now They Spilling Heavy
I Don’t Even Want The Drama But We Fit And Ready
Jack’s Loaded Up The B, I Just Put That In A Cemetery
Counting Up These Plaques, Bitch I’m Legendary
[Chorus]
7 A.m. And She Putting Her Thong Back On
She Want It Again But She Know I’m Too Nonchalant
Not Even A Week But She Say I Been Gone Too Long
That’s Because I’m In The Room Where This Song Belong
It’s Not You, It’s Me
Chain Spilling Like It’s Water
Molly In My Cup, Only Time A Nigga Call Her
I’m A Trap Nigga, Probably Better That I Warn Ya
In A Penthouse But I Came Up On The Corner
[Verse 2]
I Must Be A Farmer The Way I Got Aura
You’s An Informer And I’m A Shot Caller
Poppin’ These Pills Got Me Locking My Jaw Up
Got A Nigga Sweating Like The Sauna, Uh
See It And I Gotta Have It, Bad Habit
Coughing Up My Lungs Like A Nigga Asthmatic
I Hate These Niggas’ Lives, You Know I Can’t Stand It
Still I Keep It Cool, Keep It Placid
Used To The Lights, See The Camera When It Flash
New Coupe, Only Couple Hundred On The Dash
Should Be In The Booth But I’m Thumbing Through The Cash
Ice Cold ’cause The Bitches Only Loyal For The Guys
Who Woulda Thought I Woulda Make It Out The Fort?
Louis Galore, She Wanna Rip Off My Dior
Still Trendy But I Keep It Steady
Need Another Mill’ Like [?]
[Chorus]
7 A.m. And She Putting Her Thong Back On
She Want It Again But She Know I’m Too Nonchalant
Not Even A Week But She Say I Been Gone Too Long
That’s Because I’m In The Room Where This Song Belong
It’s Not You, It’s Me
Chain Spilling Like It’s Water
Molly In My Cup, Only Time A Nigga Call Her
I’m A Trap Nigga, Probably Better That I Warn Ya
In A Penthouse But I Came Up On The Corner
