Nav (rapper)

Navraj Singh "Nav" Goraya (born November 3, 1989) is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He began his career as a producer for other artists before embarking on his recording career, with his first major production credit being Drake's 2015 single "Back to Back". In early 2017, Nav signed with fellow Canadian singer the Weeknd record label, XO. Nav's second and third studio albums, Bad Habits (2019) and Good Intentions (2020), both debuted atop the Billboard 200. The latter album's lead single, "Turks" (with Gunna featuring Travis Scott), debuted at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains his highest-charting song as a lead artist. Also in 2020, he guest appeared on the Internet Money, Gunna and Don Toliver's single "Lemonade", which peaked at number six on the chart and gave him his highest-charting entry overall. Later that year, he released his second commercial mixtape, Emergency Tsunami. Nav's fourth studio album, Demons Protected by Angels (2022), debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. His 2023 single, "Calling" (with Metro Boomin and Swae Lee featuring A Boogie wit da Hoodie), yielded commercial success. His fifth studio album, OMW2 Rexdale (2025), lukewarmly entered the Billboard 200.
