Nafe Smallz is building serious momentum for his upcoming mixtape IT’S NOT YOU IT’S ME, dropping January 30, 2026, and “STRUGGLE LOOK EASY” featuring NorthSideBenji is that slick, rose-tinted flex where the grind shines like it was never hard at all.
Out since early January, this one’s peak Nafe: wavy UK trap laced with auto-tuned melodies and booming bass, produced by LLB for that signature atmospheric haze. It’s got those hazy Cali smoke vibes clashing with Luton street grit—chains gleaming, convoy racing, penthouse champagne popping while the skies stay rainy.
Nafe glides through the chorus making designer bags and weekend flings sound effortless, but peel back and it’s laced with distrust (“these bitches too sneaky”) and quiet scars from the jump. NorthSideBenji slides in on verse two with Toronto edge, flipping the script on greed, past regrets, and staying godly amid the chaos—his flow adding that transatlantic bite, pockets full of Rick and blick talk over the same heavy beat. The video amps the luxury, all tinted whips and faded nights, already racking spins and shares across his socials.
IT’S NOT YOU IT’S ME is shaping up as Nafe’s most stacked yet—a 19-track mixtape he’s calling his best, “nutin but bangers” straight from his own posts. Expect more of that trapwave evolution: melodic hooks over dark production, guests like this Benji link-up bringing fresh energy, and threads of heartbreak, hustle, and high life woven throughout. It follows his run of projects like 2024’s Ticket To The Moon and 2023’s High Profile, but feels like the one where he fully owns the glow-up—less apologies, more champagne pours.
Nafe’s in prime form right now, the Luton rapper who broke through the underground with raw DNA tapes and now commands global streams, festival slots, and that effortless cool. Crossing over with NorthSideBenji shows he’s bridging UK and Canadian waves without forcing it, just letting the vibes align. With pre-orders live and hype bubbling on Insta and TikTok, this drop feels like the one that pushes him further into the spotlight he’s been circling.

Lyrics of STRUGGLE LOOK EASY by Nafe Smallz
[Intro: Nafe Smallz]
LLB
Brand New Designer, New CC, Said I Make The Struggle Look Easy, Yeah
Brand New CC, Promise She Gonna Fall In The Deep End, Yeah
Champagne
[Chorus: Nafe Smallz]
I Make The Struggle Look Easy
I Buy Her New Designer, New CC
I Let Her Spend The Night, She Spend The Weekend
She Give A Nigga Just What I Needed, Yeah
I Ain’t Trust ’cause These B**ches Too Sneaky
Not Supposed To ’cause The Rollie Came Freezing
Sky High, Let Her Fall In The Deep End
New Fit, I Buy Her All New Season (Yeah, Yeah)
[Verse 1: Nafe Smallz]
Face In My Blunt (Gone), Cali Smoke, I Take It Straight To The Lungs (Smoke)
Rose Gold On Me, Put My Chains In The Dump (Glee)
Same Niggas, Been The Same Names From The Jump
You Cut The Trust, I Cut The Ties (I Do)
I Cut The Keys, You Cut The Lines (Yeah)
So Much To See, Be Hard To Find (Gone)
Real Shit In These Streets, Never Let That Shit Change
Still In Like I’m Stepping Out The 80s, Babe
Gave You Everything, It’s Too Late To Say
Convoy, Push It From The Block, Speed Racing
Wonder If I Make It To The Top, Keep Chasing
Tints On The Whip, I’m Getting Faded Like Amy
Stars On The Ceiling But The Skies Stay Rainin’ (Stay Rainin’)
From The Cut Where The Nitties Complaining
To Penthouse Views, Champagne
[Chorus: Nafe Smallz]
I Make The Struggle Look Easy (Woo)
I Buy Her New Designer, New Cc (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
Make Her Spend The Night, She Spend The Weekend
She Give A Nigga Just What I Needed
I Ain’t Trust ’cause These B**ches Too Sneaky (No Way)
Not Supposed To ’cause The Rollie Came Freezing
Sky High, Let Her Fall In The Deep End
New Fit, I Buy Her All New Season (Yeah, Yeah)
[Verse 2: NorthSideBenji]
It’s Never You Baby, I’m Sorry
Sometimes I Wish I Was Rich Nobody
I Can Never Slip, I’m Godly
I Got A Closet Full Of Rick And Pocket Full Of Blick Like Tommy
Sunset Shorty, Suckers How They Get You To The Sunset, Shorty
I Changed My Ways, I Don’t Want No Problem
Drugs, I Bought ’em, I Sold All ’em
I Missed Out ’cause I Can’t Call Them
Usually Look Easy But This Shit Got Them
That B**ch So Needy But That’s Her Problem
I’m So Greedy, I’m So All In
I’m Like Keezy, I’m Ghetto Boy Balling
I Still Treat The Grease When The Police Involved
I’m Out In Greece And I’m Geeked On Molly
I’m Off My Body, Off My Body
[Chorus: Nafe Smallz]
I Make The Struggle Look Easy (Woo)
I Buy Her New Designer, New Cc (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
Make Her Spend The Night, She Spend The Weekend
She Give A Nigga Just What I Needed
I Ain’t Trust ’cause These B**ches Too Sneaky (No Way)
Not Supposed To ’cause The Rollie Came Freezing
Sky High, Let Her Fall In The Deep End
New Fit, I Buy Her All New Season (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
