A rising hip-hop artist from Ontario, Canada, Nav has released several records over the past years. Inspired by his uncle- a rather popular singer in his native India, he began to make his own music in his teen years. Pouring many hours into honing his skills, his hard work eventually paid off as his popularity climbed. In 2015, he received a bit of attention after collaborating with Drake on the hit song, Back to Back. From there, he teamed up with Travis Scott- a fellow rapper, on the track, Beibs in the Trap. Featuring his own production, it went on to land a spot on the US Billboard 100 music chart.
From there, he released his eponymous debut mixtape in February 2017. A mix of hip-hop and trap, the record’s production was handled mostly by Nav himself, with help from DannyBoyStyles, Metro Boomin, Amir Esmalian, and Rex Kudo. Laced with 11 tracks, it featured a guest appearance from his label mate, The Weeknd on the track, Some Way. Also included in the track list were, Ten Toes Down, Good For It, Mariah, My Mind, Sleep, and Myself. Supported by two singles, the tape successfully charted within the top 30 on Billboard 200 and within the top 20 on the Hip-Hop Albums chart in the United States. Outside of the country, the tape also enjoyed success in a couple of other countries including Canada where it charted at number three.
Most recently, Nav and Metro Boomin released a collaborative project dubbed, Perfect Timing. Made available on July 21, 2017, it included a number of guest appearances from Gucci Mane, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, 21 Savage, and Belly. Led by two records, Perfect Timing and Call Me, the project debuted at number 13 on the Billboard Top, with 30,000 units sold by the end of the first week. A few highlights from the playlist include, You Know, Need Some, Bring it Back, Both Sides, Held me Down, I Don’t Care, Did You See Nav?, and Call Me.
