Dan Josiah turns up the heat with a dark, unapologetic trap statement on “TOXIC”

Dan Josiah establishes “TOXIC.” From the opening drop, it isn’t background music, it’s a warning shot. Hard-hitting and razor sharp, “TOXIC” is a trap anthem rooted in dark energy and punchy drums that strike with intention. Produced by Dan himself, the track is tight but explosive, and demonstrates not only his ear for commanding production but also his physicality on the mic. His delivery is confident, deliberate, and unshaken, the type that doesn’t request your attention, it commands it.

Another layer of vocal majesty comes from the killer ad-libs from DC De Angelo, which rip through the beat with razor-sharp precision. The chemistry is effortless, they heighten the track’s wallop without overcrowding it. Every element feels intentional. Every bar lands.

“TOXIC” comes out the gate signaling a clear evolution in Dan Josiah’s sound, fresh off the back of the Boom Bao classic drops. There’s growth here, a clearer edge, a fuller sense of self. Best known for collaborations with the likes of Big Narstie and the genre-defying SAULT collective, Dan continues to make lanes in his own right with vision and consistency.

“TOXIC” is set apart by its hard-knock. It’s the balance, raw but refined, fierce but measured. Along with capturing the unique UK trap edge Dan has been honing, it also showcases their versatility as both an artist and a producer. With the momentum building and quality releases piling up, “TOXIC” isn't another drop, it’s a statement. After all, Dan Josiah isn't only in the conversation, he’s setting the tone.
