Chicago’s own Levity just pressed the red button. This time, they link with funk-bass powerhouse GRiZ for their debut collaboration, “Pop Off.” The single dropped today, February 11, via Ultra Records after months of viral live hype, and fans are already treating it like an anthem, not a newcomer.
The track wastes zero time. It hits fast, loud, and unapologetically physical. “Pop Off” gets the crowds to erupt before the first drop even lands. It’s engineered for maximum detonation. This new single fuses Levity’s hip-hop-informed drums with their melodic bass instincts; Meanwhile, GRiZ injects that unmistakable funk swagger and low-end bounce.
The chemistry between the artists didn’t just start in the studio. Instead, the record grew in front of thousands of screaming fans. GRiZ and Levity first debuted it together at the inaugural Seven Stars Festival, a 3-day music festival curated by GRiZ in Arrington, VA. Then, appearances at Re:Connect and tour stops kept the momentum climbing. Clips flooded timelines and fan pages like wildfire, and this unreleased ID became one of the most requested moments in every set.
“Pop Off” soundtracked Levity’s custom 360-degree “laser ship” production – an immersive visual build featuring hundreds of lasers and full-scale arena lighting. Uncomparable energy peaked during Levity’s sold-out hometown show at Wintrust Arena. The trio unleashed the largest laser deployment ever used for a North American bass show. Designed as a one-night, site-specific spectacle, the show centered on an arena-scale laser installation and surprise guest appearances, including GRiZ, reinforcing the collaborative energy behind the record and the shared creative DNA between both projects.
For Levity, the collaboration marks another leap forward. The Chicago trio continues stacking streams, festival plays, and massive tour stops. If you’ve caught the tour, you already know what happens next. Stream “Pop Off” now on all major platforms.
