IShowSpeed Makes Dubstep With Frost Children Mid-Stream
Some of the best IShowSpeed moments are the ones nobody planned. This week in New York, that meant a surprise studio session with one of the city's most chaotic pop duos.
What happened
During Speed's New York livestream on Oct. 28, he ran into Frost Children, the NYC sibling duo known for glitchy, maximalist hyperpop, right outside their studio. "We're making some dubstep," they told him, and invited him in, Stereogum reports.
Getting in wasn't smooth. Per Stereogum, the duo briefly locked themselves out of their own studio, and Speed seemed unsure what "dubstep" even meant. He also told them, "Y'all look interesting." Stereogum's verdict: "It's true! They do!"
Inside the studio
Once they were in, Frost Children hit play on a hyperactive track. Speed danced for a few seconds, grabbed a mic and freestyled, then headed back out, Stereogum reports. The whole link-up lasted about two and a half minutes. A fan account, @SpeedUpdates1, posted the moment on X, and that's where the clip in our Instagram carousel comes from.
It's a fun side note for Speed, who, as Stereogum points out, already has a gold record with his 2026 single "World Cup." It came during the same New York run where a fan tracked him down and won $250,000 in his Find Me challenge.
Our take
Two and a half minutes isn't a collab, but this is exactly why IRL streaming works: you say yes to the weird invite and let the moment happen. For creators out here, the lesson is simple. Stay open to the people you run into, because the unplanned link-ups are often the ones that travel.
