NAV has revealed a new album with the title Demons Protected By Angels and pointed to the date of July 29th for something to occur a few days earlier. After his Emergency Tsunami mixtape, which was entirely produced by longtime friend and “Turks” producer Wheezy, NAV hasn’t released anything for almost two years.

Nav has over 9 billion streams worldwide, 4 Billboard Top 10s, and 11 Hot 100 hits to his credit. With Good Intentions launching at number one on the Billboard Chart (2020) and Bad Habits debuting at number one just one year earlier, NAV has two albums that have reached the top of the charts. Three songs received RIAA-Platinum certifications this year alone: “Up,” “Tap” (with Meek Mill), and “Tap” (2X Platinum).

More details for Demons Protected By Angels will come in the coming weeks.

Gunna Responds to Snitching Rumors: 'I Ain't Never Stop a Crime'

Nowadays being a rapper requires you to flex your bank account and extravagant spending. While these flexes typically include jewelry, cars, or houses Gunna decided to let us know we cannot relate to his eating habits. On Sunday, November 14th, Gunna posted an Instagram story a photo of his bill at Little Alley Steak House in Atlanta, where he and his crew racked up a $17,000 charge. He captioned the post: “This how much it cost to eat with us.”

Even though the image is blurry and difficult to read, it appears that their order included several bottles of Don Julio tequila, margaritas, drinks like Sprite and cranberry juice, macaroni and cheese, crab legs, and much more.

Around $4,000 of the bill resulted from service charges and tax, but still easily racked up to $10,000 before the extra charges. This is not the first time Gunna bragged about his lavish lifestyle, as he gifted frequent collaborator Nav with a giant iced-out ring for his 32nd birthday on November 3rd.

Gunna has been using his abundant income to enjoy the finer things in life, he also believes in giving back and providing for his community. In September, he paid for and installed a clothing and grocery store in his old middle school in the Atlanta area to celebrate Gunna Day. The items in the store will be free for the students and their parents at the school.

NAV says Jadakiss will be on his new album.

Jadakiss broke the internet after The Lox defeated Dipset in the Verzuz battle, but NAV must’ve seen the future because before the hoorah, the Canadian rapper recruited the Yonkers lyricist to be featured on his up-and-coming album.

NAV took it to Twitter to not only congratulate Jada, but he also broke some news by letting fans know that Jadakiss will be on his album. In fact, they collaborated two weeks ago. He said, “Thats crazy I put @Therealkiss on my album two weeks ago..congrats on last night.”

I know people are hype about Kanye and DONDA, but in the midst of Yeezy season, Jadakiss came through with a tropical storm. Even the four-time NBA champion LeBron James had chimed in after the Verzuz battle. Bron took it to Twitter and made a bold statement, calling Jadakiss the most underrated rapper ever. 

He wrote, “JADAKISS is the most UNDERRATED hip-hop artist of ALL-TIME!! MY GOODNESS @Therealkiss “

No word yet as to when NAV plans on dropping his new music. Lil Gotit’s “Burnt N Turnt” was the last collaboration song he’s released in the last 3 months. Emergency Tsunami is still on the playlist but we’re ready for these new Jadakiss vibes.

In more news related to how water is wet, the projected numbers behind Young Thug and Young Stoner Life’s Slime Language 2 compilation are in and point towards an easy No. 1 nab for the set.

Per Hits Daily Double, the album is expected to reel in somewhere between the digital equivalent 125,000 and 140,000 total album streams, along with about 3,000 to 5,000 in pure album sales.

It will mark the first time in 19 weeks that an album from the Universal Music Group doesn’t hold the top spot. It’s a major shift from the 41,000 units that the first Slime Language compilation gained in its opening, cuing toward the growing profile of Thug’s roster as a whole and the star power provided by marquee features from the likes of Drake, Travis Scott, Future & more.

Likewise, tracks from the project are expected to make individual impacts on the chart with all eyes particularly set on “Ski,” which made waves with a star-studded viral challenge, opulently riffing off the power of TikTok dance trends.

No. 3 on the charts belongs to The Kid Laroi with 52,000 units for his F*ck Love album and King Von takes a leap into the Top 5 with his debut album Welcome to O’Block.

Wheezy Nav

When Emergency Tsunami transitions from the “Breaking News Intro” into the triumphant “Friends & Family,” the Wheezy-produced effort shows promise–but only for so long.

The year has been a busy one for NAV with the XO signee unleashing the full-length Good Intentions album this year only to follow it up with a deluxe double album in tow. So when listeners turn on the surprise Emergency Tsunami drop, it appears to be a powerful closure to the year’s catalog for the Canadian artist, but it quickly falls flat.

Pushing past “Friends & Family” and the Gunna-assisted “Young Weezy” opens up a familiar tracklist of the same formula that NAV has stuck to for years now. While his consistency is commendable, the lack of variety leaves room for uninspired reoccurrences. While he finds his stride on cuts like “Nasty” and “Vetement Socks,” it loses luster when the same identity permeates throughout the remaining tracklist. The lyrical content doesn’t veer much from the same boasts of suites in Beverly Hills and flat memories of the road to luxury while his familiar cadence finds no variation.

What Emergency Tsunami successfully does, however, is to place the production of Wheezy front and center. It’s in this moment that the southern beatmaker’s signature truly unfolds. Even without a tag, the author is clear. Wheezy supplies the force that powers much of Emergency Tsunami.

All the while, NAV should be credited with appropriately selecting the producer who best frames his delivery. The same can be said of his choice of collaborators with Atlanta’s stamp planted firmly on Tsunami. Gunna, Young Thug, Lil Baby, Lil Keed, and SahBabii all shine in their performances and the influence is clear with their own lingo leaking into NAV’s own repertoire.

“My baby don’t play, Chanaynay her shades,” he raps on “Vetement Socks.”

The South’s influence on the 31-year-old’s career is obvious, and in Emergency Tsunami he plays proper homage, doubling down with a Future-assisted “Stella McCartney” on the effort’s deluxe outing.

For fans who are enthusiastic about the same sounds that bought them into NAV’s orbit in the first place, Emergency Tsunami is a gem, but for those of us hoping to see the Toronto-bred rapper push himself past established plateaus, the wave misses the mark.

Travis Scott hired security

Tweaking albums after its release has become a trend nowadays. Kanye West did it to his last two albums. Nicki Minaj also said she would roll out a few improvements to Queen directly after its discharge. When Travis Scott dropped ASTROWORLD a week ago, fans quickly noticed that Nav’s vocals on “Yosemite” were difficult to hear, unlike Gunna’s vocals, who was also featured on the track.

Scott definitely saw the memes because Nav’s vocals are noticeably louder. The change is already updated on streaming platforms, so now you won’t have to struggle to hear the Toronto artist.

“Yosemite” is the most recent collab between La Flame and Nav. The duo collaborated on Scott’s last collection Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, and they were also both featured on Nav’s “Champion” from his debut album, Reckless. The video was shot in Hawaii, when Scott gathered a super team to help him complete ASTROWORLD.

Travis Scott announced the tour for his latest album. There’s no telling if Nav will join him.

After a successful Rolling Loud Music festival set last weekend, Toronto rapper Nav is ready to release his next project ‘Reckless.’  His last project, ‘Perfect Timing,’ was an unusual mix of sing-song like raps and sharp bars creating a new space in hip hop. As a collaboration with Atlanta producer Metro Boomin’, each beat featured the trap essence we all know and love. Nav continues the theme of his project covers with a retro feel as the cover art. ‘Reckless’ sits at 12 songs long with features from Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert.

Freshman List, an already released track, debuted shortly after Nav ranted via Twitter about his lack of appearance on XXL’s coveted Freshman List edition of their magazine. The bouncy auto-tuned track sets the mood of what to expect on his release tomorrow.

For now, here’s the track list:

 

1. Reckless
2. Never Change
3. Hold Your Hand
4. Faith f. Quavo
5. Champion f. Travis Scott
6. Glow Up
7. Just Happened
8. Wanted You f. Lil Uzi Vert
9. With Me
10. Eat f. Gunna
11. Freshman List
12. What I Need / Daheala Outro

Belly teams up with NAV for a new track titled “Maintain.” The Canadian pair are two of the latest buzz-worthy artists rising from Canada. With Belly being signed to Roc Nation and NAV being XO’s protégé, the song is a natural outcome of the two’s harmonic musical chemistry on a track. If I had to guess, we could be hearing more from the duo in the future.

The song “Maintain” is a hypnotic and laid-back but full-body song which floats over a mid-tempo beat. Belly kicks off the hook by structuring it around “we just tryna maintain” setting the tone for NAV to do what he does best and carries out his signature sound. The track follows Belly’s other recent team-up “4 Days” with YG.

With the XO campaign growing strong, this is just an insight to what fans can expect from Belly’s upcoming project Midnight Zone.

In other news, Belly will play iHeartRadio’s FanFest in Toronto alongside DVBBS, French Montana and more on May 11 at REBEL. Stream “Maintain” below. Meanwhile, NAV will be going on his own ‘Freshman Tour’ with 88Glam which  kick off April 24 in Santa Ana and end in Detroit, Michigan on May 23rd.

Takei n the song below.

XO’s newcomer Nav has been making noise for a minute now. His rise to stardom has been no mystery every since he announced his signing with The Weeknd‘s XO label. Then soon following it up with “Some Way” featuring his label boss. Not to forget his self-titled project NAV. The 11 tracks long project included his standout tracks like “Myself”, “Up”, “Good For It”, and of course “Some Way”.

The video is made up of clips which were filmed during his appearances at The Weeknd’s latest tour, and various after-parties. The video captures the celebratory vibe with an ode of seductive allures that come with stardom and “Good For It” is the perfect song because it showcases emotions of coming up. There are also very subtle cameos from Drake, The Weeknd and his XO crew.
