CRITIC REVIEWS

It's a lack of originality that turns the sound stale rather quickly.

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.

Nav is little other than a smelted down, half-heartedly rendered image of a bad trend, disserviced by bad and difficult to distinguish songs. As a result, NAV is front-to-back one of the blandest takes on the genre so far. Now that's an achievement, however dubious.

NAV’s songcraft is sharp, but the lack of dynamics ultimately makes this debut feel one-note.
Sounds like every other Toronto rapper/singer out there. Bryson Tiller, Tory Lanez, Drake, The Weeknd, PartyNextDoor etc. Traces of all of them are here. It's incredibly generic, the only people that I could imagine liking this are people who have no concern for musicianship, songwriting, inventiveness or anything like that, and just want to be fed the same ol' same ol'. I however, prefer music with y'know, actual creativity, so I fucking despised this mixtape.
Beats are mediocre, lyrics/vocals are trash...I don't really hear anything in this project that's even remotely appealing at all.
