Nav (stylized in all caps) is the eponymous debut commercial mixtape by Canadian rapper and record producer Nav. It was released through XO and Republic Records on February 24, 2017.[1] The mixtape features a sole guest appearance from Canadian singer-songwriter and XO label boss the Weeknd, who appears on the lead single of the project, "Some Way". Nav handled most of the production himself, with some tracks featuring co-production from other record producers such as Metro Boomin, Rex Kudo, Frost, and DannyBoyStyles.[2]

Background

On February 16, 2017, Nav officially announced that he signed a deal to the Weeknd's record label XO and Republic Records. Prior to this, he made appearances in music videos for The Weeknd; as well as fellow XO signee Belly sparking rumors that he is also been signed to XO. Nav also announced that he would be releasing the mixtape on February 24, 2017.[2] Several tracks on the mixtape had already been released on Nav's SoundCloud account prior to the release, including "Myself" and "Up"; both of these songs garnered millions of plays on the platform.[3] On February 22, 2017, Nav revealed the mixtape's track listing on his Instagram account.[4]

Singles

The debut and lead single, "Some Way" which features Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd, was released as a digital download on February 15, 2017. The song gained traction due to the content of the Weeknd's lyrics, which were widely interpreted as being aimed at prepped fellow Canadian singer Justin Bieber, regarding their ongoing feud.[5]

"Myself" was originally posted to SoundCloud on January 12, 2016, but not to streaming services as a single.[6] It was serviced to rhythmic radio on April 11, 2017 as the second single.[7]

Though not released as singles, "Ten Toes Down (TTD)" and "Up" were previously released on SoundCloud in 2015 and 2016, respectively. A deleted 2014 track titled "She Know", while not included on the album, is heavily sampled on "Interlude".[8]
