About
The artist
NAV is the recording name of Toronto rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer Navraj Singh Goraya. He grew up in Rexdale and began making beats as a teenager before releasing his own recordings. Apple Music documents his transition from production into a solo catalog, including early SoundCloud songs and his 2017 signing with The Weeknd's XO label. His production work includes a contribution to Drake's Back to Back, while his artist catalog combines melodic rap, trap production, and collaborations with artists across Canada and the United States. NAV's official website currently promotes MUTT and links directly to his artist-controlled SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube profiles. The linked SoundCloud profile identifies Toronto and carries Trimski, released in 2026. Apple Music independently identifies Toronto, Ontario, Canada. These current provider sources confirm Canada as the country, Ontario as the province, and Toronto as the city without a location conflict. The exact Spotify identity 7rkW85dBwwrJtlHRDkJDAC exposes forty-two principal album and single containers in the Canadian market. All forty-two were reviewed against artist names, collaborators, labels, dates, track counts, Apple Music, the official site, and NAV's documented career. No unresolved provider collision remains. MusicList classifies the set as twelve albums and thirty singles, with dates from July 8, 2015 through May 1, 2026. Deluxe and bonus editions are retained as distinct provider containers because they have separate dates, track counts, identifiers, and release metadata. Representative releases are MUTT with Quavo, Trimski with Young Thug, OMW2 REXDALE (DELUXE), Demons Protected By Angels, and Bad Habits (Deluxe). Universal Music Canada documents NAV as a producer and executive producer on OMW2 REXDALE, released through XO and Republic Records in 2025. The album returns to Rexdale as both a place and a creative reference. A 2025 XXL interview independently connects the project to his Toronto neighbourhood, confirms Amir Cash Esmailian as his manager, and documents his continuing work as a producer. Rolling Stone India further documents the Toronto and Rexdale background, his early home recording process, and his development as a beatmaker. Billboard Canada records Bad Habits reaching number one on both the Billboard Canadian Albums chart and the Billboard 200 in 2019. Current releases with Quavo and Young Thug extend the catalog through 2026. Professional inquiries route through NAV's current official website without reproducing direct contact details. Spotify media is displayed live with provider attribution and a monogram fallback. The exact English and French payload was reviewed for identity, current Toronto geography, activity, all forty-two catalog containers, production credits, labels, management, collaborators, chart achievement, safe contact routing, provider media, and meaning parity.
