The word bubbling on the streets of the cloud is that Nav is next up to blow. The Toronto artist got his biggest look yet a few days before 2017 began, when star-maker Travis Scott dropped the video for their collab "beibs in the trap." The Nav-produced track might be the biggest banger on BITTSM, and it's a sign of next level content to come.
By all accounts, Nav is poised to do massive things this year, and we believe it's time the ignorant began paying attention. Welcome to your introduction to Toronto's next superstar. Flip through the gallery above to get this ish started.
He's A Mysterious Toronto Artist
Like his 6ixside forefathers before him, Nav is hitting the scene heavy with a mysterious persona, a technique that's worked well for basically everyone from Toronto, from PartyNextDoor to SAFE to The Weeknd. That's not shade against him; he's put in an incredible amount of work to get the fan base he's sitting on, establishing himself as a go-to producer online before getting in the game as a vocalist. Not a lot is known about Nav's beginnings other than that he came up in the Rexdale district of Toronto. Besides the location, all to be learned about Nav is in the music.
Nav, The Weeknd, and Belly All Have The Same Manager
After much speculation, it's been confirmed via Twitter that Nav is managed by Cash, the XO mastermind who manages The Weeknd and Belly. Given that track record, Cash is basically the best manager a Canadian hip-hop artist could ask for, so rest assured, Nav's career is in good hands.
He's Gotten Co-Signs From The Likes Of Kylie Jenner and LeBron James
Besides support from fellow rap artists, we don't think there's bigger co-signs to get than ones from these two. #GOATs
Pretty wild place to have an on-stage premiere. We're sure he'll have the festival going bonkers. And if not, we blame the basics.
He's Got A Collaborative Album Coming Out This Year With Metro Boomin
Nav had the trap goin ham when he dropped "Up," his Metro Boomin-produced banger this past summer. The chemistry was clear, and it set the stage for Metro's announcement that the duo would be droppin a joint project this year.
Me and @beatsbynav dropping our collab album 2017.
Given what Savage Mode did for 21 Savage, there's no telling what the release of this album could do for Nav's career. I guess we'll wait and see.
