GRAMMY Award-nominated platinum-certified Toronto rapper and
producer NAV releases his new single “Wanted You”featuring Lil
Uzi Vert at all digital retailers now via XO/Republic
Records.
Get it HERE.
On “Wanted You,” dusky neon production bristles under a fiery lyrical call-and-response between one of Canada’s hottest hip-hop exports and the Philadelphia rap titan. The song unites NAV and Lil Uzi Vert for the second time in 2017, following up the hit “A$AP Ferg” & “NAVUZIMETRO#PT2”.
NAV has quietly arrived as one of rap’s most innovative and infectious voices. Earlier this year, he unveiled his self-titled mixtape NAV and joined forces with powerhouse producer Metro Boomin for the collaborative album, Perfect Timing. The latter impressively sold 40,000 units in the first week. Meanwhile, 2016 saw him not only co-produce the GRAMMY Award-nominated “Back To Back” for Drake, but he also featured on and produced the platinum-selling “beibs in the trap” for Travi$ Scott’s blockbuster Birds In the Trap Sing McKnight. A streaming phenomenon, he regularly averages over 6.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify making him one of the Top 310 listened to artists worldwide. In addition to selling out solo shows coast to coast, he also joined The Weeknd for The Starboy Tour. This tastemaker favorite has also received praise from XXL, Complex, Billboard, and The Fader with Rolling Stone placing his Coachella debut among the year’s best performances.
