Navraj Singh Goraya (born November 3, 1989), better known as Nav, is a Canadian rapper and record producer. Nav originally began his career as a producer, in which he notably co-produced the 2015 single "Back to Back" by fellow Canadian rapper and singer Drake. He is signed to Canadian singer the Weeknd's record label, XO, and its parent label, Republic Records, where he is managed by XO managers Amir "Cash" Esmailian and Wassim "Sal" Slaiby.
Nav gained mainstream attention in 2016 from his feature on the single "Beibs in the Trap" by Travis Scott and his own single, "Myself", went viral on SoundCloud. In 2017, he released his self-titled debut mixtape and his collaborative mixtape with Metro Boomin titled Perfect Timing, both of which had moderate success. In 2018, Nav released his debut studio album, Reckless, and was also the subject of numerous internet memes later in the year from his feature alongside Gunna on the single "Yosemite" by Travis Scott, due to his vocals on the song initially being mixed at a lower volume than usual before being fixed shortly after. His second and third studio albums, Bad Habits and Good Intentions both debuted and peaked atop the Billboard 200. The latter also produced his highest-charting song as a lead artist on the Billboard Hot 100, "Turks", a collaboration with Gunna that features Travis Scott, which debuted and peaked at number 17 on the chart. Later that year, Nav earned his highest-charting single overall with his feature on the single "Lemonade", which reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100. He released his fourth studio album, Demons Protected by Angels in 2022. His collaboration with Metro Boomin, Swae Lee, and A Boogie wit da Hoodie the following year on the single "Calling", which featured on the soundtrack for Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse, was moderately successful on the charts. Nav is set to release his fifth studio album, On My Way 2 Rexdale, in late 2024.
