Could this be the most unlikely co-sign in recent history?
With one the biggest releases the day, Nav has effectively returned from his musical hiatus. The Toronto rapper joined Lil Uzi Vert in his early retirement, deciding last week that the game needed him to come back. He eased himself back in, dipping his toes into the ocean with the Brown Boy EP. Along with the limited collection songs, Nav also announced that he would be making an ficial return to the game the following week, revealing his latest album Bad Habits to the world. There were a few obstacles to avoid on the way to today, namely an uncleared Lil Uzi Vert feature, but Nav ficially made it to March 22 and dropped one the most popular projects the week. It’s been getting praise from all corners with one surprising name on the artist’s growing list co-signs: Nas.
Obviously, the similarity in their names makes this situation even funnier. However, it’s even more baffling to consider Nas being a fan Nav, the XO rapper who speaks almost exclusively about his VVS diamonds and sexual conquests. Their styles are worlds apart but somehow and someway, Nas became a fan the young Canadian, extending his co-sign on Instagram.
“@nav back at it again! Salute bro!” wrote the hip-hop legend next to a photo Nav’s album cover. His retirement only lasted a couple months but it is nice to see the kid striving again. Obviously, it’s a bittersweet moment for OGs like Nas too. Do you think we’ll ever hear the unlikely duo Nav and Nas on a track together?
