In April 2024, Nav performed twice at the Coachella festival in Indio, California, on April 14 and April 21, where he announced the title On My Way 2 Rexdale[49] at the end of his performance on the former date although it was unclear whether it was a single or a project and performed the then-unreleased song from the album titled "Red" on the latter date.[50] He released a trailer video for it on May 14, where he confirmed its title and the fact that it would be his fifth studio album with a release set for the summer of that year, which did not happen for unknown reasons.[51] Nav was featured on an updated version of Australian singer Lithe's single, "Fall Back", on August 16.[52] He announced release date of the official and now-shortened title of the album, OMW2 Rexdale, along with its final trailer video on March 18.[53] Nav released a collaboration with Metro Boomin titled "Real Me" as its lead and only single three days later, followed by the album being released on March 28.[54]

Controversies

[edit]

In early 2017, Nav had received backlash for saying the word "nigga" in some of his songs.[55] In an interview with Complex on July 21, 2017, Nav stated that the neighborhood he grew up in is very "multicultural" with members of the "Chinese to white to black to Jamaican" openly using the word with one another. He admitted that he and his friends constantly used the word with one another, but he saw some backlash once he had gained some popularity. He also stated that he would not say the word in his music anymore, starting from his collaborative mixtape with Metro Boomin titled Perfect Timing, which was released on the same day as the interview.[56]

Nav publicly criticized XXL through a series of tweets and Instagram posts along with releasing the single "Freshman List" on March 16, 2018.[57] His main reason for criticizing the magazine was due to not being selected for the 2018 freshman cover. In his tweets, Nav shared his thoughts that had ranged "from angry and bitter to motivational and inspirational". After his tweets and release of the single, Nav began addressing the outlet's editor-in-chief Vanessa Satten through now deleted Instagram posts and further continued to criticize the outlet.[58]

In March 2019, during an interview with Pitchfork, Nav was quoted by an interviewer to say: "Fame is something I want, it's a good problem to have. I'm still not there, because when I walk out of fucking Delilah in L.A. and TMZ will be standing out there with cameras and not even take a picture of me, I get sick. I get in my fucking Lambo truck right in front of them. All my jewelry on and they don't even take one picture".[59] However, he later clarified that this was taken out of context, as "sick" is in fact a positive term in Toronto slang, and rather than being disgusted for not being recognized, he is grateful to still have anonymity as a celebrity.[60] Nav further stated in the Pitchfork interview that he hoped his latest project, Bad Habits would help him become more noticed by TMZ along with other paparazzi. A week later, a TMZ interviewer found Nav in New York and did a brief video interview with him, asking him questions about a possible collaborative project with Lil Uzi Vert.[61]

On March 28, 2025, Nav released a new album, OMW2 REXDALE, featuring songs such as BURBS, UNLIMITED (FT PLAYBOI CARTI), RED, REAL ME (WITH METRO BOOMIN), and GET 2 U.

Early life and background

Family and upbringing

Navraj Singh Goraya, professionally known as Nav, was born on November 3, 1989, in , , , to parents who immigrated from , as members of the Punjabi Sikh community. His family originated from the northern Indian state of , where Sikh traditions shaped their prior to migration. Raised as the youngest of three siblings in Toronto's neighborhood—a working-class, multicultural area in the city's northwest—Nav grew up amid the economic pressures common to many immigrant households, including his father's role as a operator and his mother's work in computer manufacturing. The family's Sikh heritage influenced daily life through religious observances and use, fostering discipline and communal values that contrasted with Rexdale's urban environment of diverse ethnic groups and socioeconomic strain. These immigrant experiences, marked by parental labor in blue-collar and technical fields, contributed to an emphasis on self-reliance and perseverance, as Nav has reflected in discussions of his formative years. He attended local institutions such as West Humber Junior Middle School and for , though his development leaned toward independent pursuits over extended institutional reliance.

Entry into music production

Nav began his forays into music production during high school, where he created mash-ups and beats for local underground artists in Toronto's emerging rap scene. This initial experimentation laid the groundwork for his production skills, focusing on hands-on beat-making without immediate commercial intent. After high school, Nav pursued formal training by enrolling in the Audio Production and Engineering diploma program at Metalworks Institute in , , graduating in 2010. There, he honed technical proficiencies in audio engineering, which he applied to early unreleased work and contributions for Toronto-area rappers, sharing beats on to gauge reception and refine his style through iterative feedback. These efforts marked a shift from casual hobby to dedicated pursuit, emphasizing practical trial-and-error in crafting trap-influenced instrumentals amid the competitive local underground.

Musical style and artistry

Genre contributions and production techniques

Nav's core musical style integrates melancholic, repetitive melodies with trap beats, employing heavy on vocals to create a layered, emotive delivery that emphasizes emotional resonance over lyrical clarity. This approach fuses singing-like flows with rhythmic trap elements, including prominent 808 bass lines and patterns typical of the , resulting in an ethereal, atmospheric sound. In production, Nav adheres to a DIY , frequently self-producing tracks using looped samples and atmospheric synths to construct moody, spacious backdrops that prioritize hook-driven structures over extended verses. These techniques favor economical song forms, with many tracks averaging 2 to 3 minutes in length and tempos ranging from 140 to 170 BPM, allowing melodies to dominate through repetition and minimalistic arrangements. Over time, Nav's outputs have evolved from sparser, beat-focused early productions to more layered compositions incorporating additional synth textures and refined vocal effects, enhancing density while retaining core trap sparsity. This progression reflects iterative refinements in sample selection and beat collaboration, maintaining a focus on intuitive, ear-guided construction rather than formulaic complexity.

Influences and thematic elements

Nav's primary musical influences stem from Toronto's hip-hop ecosystem, with Drake and The Weeknd serving as key figures in shaping his melodic trap aesthetic and atmospheric production sensibilities. His early production work on Drake's 2015 diss track "Back to Back" marked a pivotal entry point, reflecting an emulation of the city's introspective, R&B-infused rap style rather than American gangsta rap archetypes. Complementing this, Nav's Punjabi Sikh background introduced melodic elements from South Asian folk and bhangra traditions, influenced by his uncle's career as a Punjabi singer in India and pervasive family exposure to such sounds during childhood. This fusion avoids overt gangsta emulation, prioritizing vibe-driven flows over narrative bravado, as evidenced in his self-described "brown boy" ethos that grounds hip-hop in immigrant cultural hybridity. Recurring thematic elements in Nav's lyrics center on the pursuit of wealth as a counter to pre-fame deprivation, often framed through the lens of an immigrant grind from Toronto's neighborhood. Songs like "Wanted You" and "Up" depict rapid financial ascent amid relational isolation, portraying success as both triumphant and alienating. Drug-fueled excess, particularly and lean consumption, features prominently as a motif of escapism and indulgence, with tracks such as "" (featuring Gunna, released May 8, 2020) explicitly cataloging syrup's euphoric haze and relational fallout: " got me trippin', feel like I'm floatin' / No , I'm supposed to." These narratives balance glamorization of vice—evoking cycles of dependency and fleeting highs—with occasional realism on consequences, as in later reflections on addiction's personal toll during romantic entanglements. Critics have faulted these themes for normalizing without sufficient depth or cautionary undertones, arguing they prioritize party-oriented bravado over substantive , as seen in reviews decrying a lack of lyrical evolution beyond drugs, women, and . Defenders counter that such content authentically mirrors the high-stakes reality of breakout success for a first-generation Punjabi Canadian, capturing the causal link between socioeconomic struggle and compensatory excess without romanticizing origins—evident in Nav's own admissions of pre-fame scarcity driving his output. This tension underscores a broader on whether his work perpetuates escapist tropes or documents unvarnished upward mobility, with empirical sales data (e.g., over 100 million streams for drug-centric singles) indicating resonance despite polarizing reception.

Career

2015–2017: Mixtapes, production work, and commercial debut

In 2015, Nav began gaining recognition as a in Toronto's underground scene, creating beats for local artists and eventually contributing to high-profile tracks. He produced the beat for Travis Scott's "," originally his own demo, which was released on September 2, 2016, as part of Scott's album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, marking Nav's entry into mainstream hip-hop production circles. This independent effort, built through uploads and grassroots networking, highlighted his self-taught production skills amid limited industry access for South Asian artists in a predominantly Black-led genre. Nav self-released his debut project, the The Introduction, on September 4, 2016, featuring early singles like "Myself," which he had uploaded to in January 2016 and built buzz through organic streaming and performances. This independent release cultivated a dedicated fanbase in 's multicultural , particularly among South Asian youth, challenging by blending trap production with personal lyrics on wealth, isolation, and street life. On February 16, 2017, Nav signed to 's XO imprint and , leveraging connections from production work and a collaboration on "Some Way" with . Under XO, Nav released his self-titled commercial debut mixtape NAV on February 24, 2017, which debuted at number 22 on the Billboard 200 through streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, driven by tracks such as "Up," "Myself," and the Weeknd feature. The project, co-produced by Nav alongside Metro Boomin and others, solidified his breakthrough by achieving over 100 million combined streams in its first months, reflecting fan-driven growth rather than traditional radio play or major label promotion prior to the deal.

2018–2019: Reckless, Bad Habits, and mainstream traction

In May 2018, Nav released his debut studio album Reckless through XO Records and , marking his transition to full-length major-label output. The project debuted at number 8 on the , selling 36,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, driven by streaming and features from artists including , , and . Despite commercial entry, early reviews highlighted repetitive trap elements and Nav's self-admitted dissatisfaction, with him later stating the album "sucked" due to rushed production and formulaic content. Building momentum, Nav announced the Freshman Tour in March 2018, commencing April 24 in Santa Ana, California, with support from 88Glam, escalating his live presence amid rising streams from prior singles. In November 2018, he dropped "Know Me" as the lead single for his follow-up, though it did not immediately chart high; the track underscored his ongoing XO affiliation, co-managed by The Weeknd's team. Nav's second album Bad Habits, executive produced by , arrived on March 22, 2019, via the same XO/Republic imprint. It debuted at number 1 on the with 82,000 equivalent units, featuring on "Price on My Head" alongside guests like and , signaling stronger collaborative traction. The Crash Tour followed in late 2019, including arena dates like Theater, reflecting sustained demand but amid critiques of sonic predictability in outlets like , which noted Nav's anger overshadowing innovation. While platinum certifications accrued for earlier hits like "Wanted You," Bad Habits' metrics suggested hype-driven peaks rather than enduring sales velocity, with first-week figures reliant heavily on bundles and streaming equivalents.

2020–2021: Good Intentions, Brown Boy 2, and Emergency Tsunami

In May 2020, amid global that halted live tours and public gatherings, Nav released his third studio album Good Intentions on May 8 via XO Records and . The project debuted at number one on the chart, earning 135,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, including 73,000 pure album sales, demonstrating sustained fan engagement through streaming platforms during widespread isolation. Three days later, on May 11, Nav issued the deluxe edition subtitled , adding 14 tracks with guest appearances from artists including and , which expanded the original release to 32 songs and further capitalized on heightened digital consumption trends. Later that year, Nav maintained output momentum with the Emergency Tsunami on November 6, primarily produced by and featuring collaborations such as "Young Wheezy" and "" with Gunna, the latter appearing on Good Intentions to underscore recurring creative synergies. These efforts, totaling over 40 new tracks across the period, highlighted resilience against disruptions that limited in-person promotion and performances, shifting reliance to remote production and viral streaming metrics. Nav reflected on personal shifts during this time, noting in a December 2020 social media post that he had forgone many vacations and parties in earlier years to prioritize long-term enjoyment, aligning with broader maturity themes amid reduced social outings enforced by lockdowns. This phase marked a pivot toward prolific studio work over live elements, setting groundwork for subsequent experimentation post-restrictions.

2022–2025: Demons Protected by Angels, independent shifts, and OMW2 Rexdale

In September 2022, Nav released his fourth studio album, , which delved into themes of emotional pain and internal conflict, as evidenced by lyrics reflecting personal struggles masked by , such as covering heartache with luxury brands. Executive produced by Nav and Amir “Cash” Esmailian, the project marked a shift toward introspective, darker content amid his ongoing association with XO Records and . Following the album's release, Nav encountered professional hurdles, including reported delays in music rollout attributed to label constraints, which fueled speculation about tensions with XO and prompted a reevaluation of his toward greater in creative decisions. This period coincided with personal maturation, as Nav reduced partying and emphasized sobriety's role in enhancing focus, stating in a 2025 that prioritizing studio time over social excesses sharpened his output. His , described as unmatched in intensity, underscored this phase, with Nav positioning himself as a relentless creator navigating identity challenges in hip-hop. By March 28, 2025, Nav returned with OMW2 Rexdale, his fifth studio album, explicitly honoring his , roots—a neighborhood in where he was born and raised to Punjabi immigrant parents—and reviving an earlier concept originally titled NAV2. The release echoed his foundational sound, signaling a deliberate reconnection to 's rap ecosystem amid evolving scene dynamics. Commercially, it projected strong debut performance, with estimates of 70,000 first-week units, bolstered by physical sales and streaming traction reflective of sustained fan engagement. Despite initial hype, final figures adjusted downward due to market factors, yet the album affirmed Nav's enduring ties to his origins and adaptive resilience in the industry.

Controversies and criticisms

Public beefs and media disputes

In March 2018, Nav publicly criticized XXL Magazine's annual Freshman Class list, releasing a diss track titled "Freshman List" that accused the publication of favoring artists through and industry favoritism rather than merit. He followed up on , declaring "FUCK XXL YOUR MAGAZINE IS TRASH" and targeting editor-in-chief Vanessa Satten for excluding established rising artists like himself. Nav explicitly stated he would not participate even if invited, positioning the dispute as a rejection of perceived gatekeeping in hip-hop media. Nav's conflicts with media personality escalated multiple times between 2019 and 2022, stemming from accusations of disloyalty and inconsistent support. The feud intensified in early when Nav tweeted that Akademiks "hop on and off d*ck so much he prolly got STDs," prompting Akademiks to retaliate with criticisms of Nav's career authenticity and personal attacks. Nav later alleged underlying racism in Akademiks' criticisms during a interview, though he expressed regret for escalating the personal animosity. The two, formerly friendly, traded barbs over perceived betrayals in online commentary, with Akademiks questioning Nav's independence from major labels and Nav viewing the attacks as envious opportunism; the beef concluded with a face-to-face reconciliation on Akademiks' in 2022. In March 2025, rumors circulated that Nav dissed Drake on his track "Back 2 Business" from the album OMW2 Rexdale, with some interpreting lyrics as subtle shots at the peer amid ongoing industry tensions. , citing direct communication from Nav, publicly clarified on a livestream that the lines were not aimed at Drake, dismissing the speculation as misinterpretation fueled by anonymous online narratives of Nav facing widespread "hate" for perceived inauthenticity. Nav has consistently framed such disputes as driven by envy from detractors, contrasting accusers' claims of his industry disconnect with his assertions of targeted sabotage against independent artists.

Accusations regarding lyrics and authenticity

In early 2017, Nav drew backlash for incorporating the n-word into on his self-titled debut , prompting accusations of cultural appropriation from non-Black artists, particularly those of Asian descent, appropriating elements of Black American without equivalent historical or experiential ties. Critics, including a Fader published on March 15, 2017, framed this as symptomatic of broader issues in Desi hip-hop circles, where such usage signals performative proximity to Black experiences rather than genuine cultural integration. The controversy highlighted tensions over authenticity in rap, with detractors arguing Nav's multicultural upbringing—spanning diverse neighborhoods in and —did not confer license for the term, viewing it as commodifying reclaimed language for commercial trap appeal. Beyond the n-word, Nav's lyrics faced repeated criticism for adhering to formulaic trap conventions, emphasizing repetitive motifs of consumption, fleeting wealth, and emotional numbness, which some reviewers deemed shallow and contributory to vice normalization. A March 30, 2017, review in The characterized his debut project as featuring "empty lyrics and the same, monotonous message: glorifying drugs," suggesting a lack of depth or personal evolution that prioritized atmospheric production over substantive . Such critiques extended to authenticity claims, positing that Nav's Punjabi-Canadian background clashed with the genre's roots in Southern U.S. street hardships, rendering his portrayals of lean, Xanax dependency, and melancholy as inauthentic emulation rather than lived causal realities, potentially fostering dependency among impressionable listeners without counterbalancing realism. Empirical data on Nav's commercial trajectory, however, underscores market dismissal of strict authenticity gatekeeping: despite lyrical backlash, his 2019 album Bad Habits debuted at number one on the with 102,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, and subsequent releases like Good Intentions (2020) amassed over 20 million streams in initial weeks, indicating consumer preference for his sound over critic-imposed experiential litmus tests. This persistence in —totaling millions across platforms—suggests causal drivers like melodic hooks and production outweighed authenticity purism, as trap's has empirically favored accessible tropes over rigid provenance.

Artist's responses and industry pushback

In response to persistent criticisms, Nav has emphasized his rigorous work ethic as a to detractors. In a September 2022 Rolling Stone interview, he stated that he "works harder than anyone else," attributing his prolific output and self-production capabilities to this discipline amid claims questioning his authenticity and effort. Nav has also addressed industry-wide skepticism, particularly as a South Asian artist in a with historically low representation of such backgrounds, which often amplifies doubts about cultural fit and legitimacy. In May 2020, he described enduring "crazy" and "offensive" racist comments from industry figures, framing them as baseless barriers rather than valid critiques, and underscoring his self-reliant approach to career control through in-house production and direct fan engagement over label dependencies. These rebuttals align with Nav's pivot toward greater following label tensions, prioritizing personal metrics like streaming endurance over external validation.

Live performances

Concert tours

The tour emphasized tracks from Reckless such as "Wanted You" and "Friend or Foe", marking his initial major headlining effort following mixtape promotion.

Setlists evolved to incorporate newer singles like "Tap" alongside staples from prior releases, reflecting a shift toward material produced under his XO affiliation. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted industry-wide suspensions of live tours starting March 2020, curtailing Nav's planned activities amid global venue closures and travel restrictions.

Nav resumed headlining with the Never Sleep Tour in 2023, a 23-date North American outing promoting Demons Protected by Angels, commencing February 14 at The Fillmore in Minneapolis (capacity 1,193) and concluding April 11 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto (capacity 19,800). Key stops included The Fillmore in Detroit (capacity 2,900), Terminal 5 in New York City (capacity 3,500), and Fillmore Auditorium in Denver (capacity 3,700). Setlists prominently featured recent cuts like "Never Sleep" and "To My Grave" opener, blended with career-spanning hits such as "Up", "Baguettes in the Face", and "Wanted You", indicating a maturation from Reckless-heavy performances to broader catalog representation.

AlbumMetacritic ScoreKey Critic Notes

Perfect Timing (with Metro Boomin, 2017)Not aggregatedThin-singing style fails to elevate shallow content.
Bad Habits (2019)52/100Fun but unremarkable; mixed on emotional authenticity.
Good Intentions (2020)54/100Incremental production improvements, but redeemed only by guests.
