The self-titled album from
NAV, Navraj Goraya, followed boosts from Kylie Jenner and
Drake, a featured appearance on
Travis Scott's "Beibs in the Trap," and a deal with
the Weeknd's major label-supported XO label. On "Beibs in the Trap,"
NAV resembled a congested and half-awake
Justin Bieber and rhymed "ho," "bro," "snow," and "toes" in sing-songy fashion. The Toronto native is in a similar mode here, over predominantly trap-styled tracks that are more about creating a low-wattage soundtrack for chemical and sexual mischief than foundations for songs. The album's most popular track -- "Some Way," allegedly a
Bieber diss -- is the one that features
the Weeknd. ~ Andy Kellman
