Navraj "Nav" Singh Goraya (born November 3, 1989) is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He began his career as a producer for other artists before also producing and recording his own music, with his first notable production credit being in 2015 on the single "Back to Back" by fellow Canadian rapper and singer Drake. In early 2017, fellow Canadian singer the Weeknd signed Nav to his record label, XO, in which the label's signees are managed by Amir "Cash" Esmailian and Wassim "Sal" Slaiby.

Nav's second and third studio albums, Bad Habits (2019) and Good Intentions (2020), both debuted atop the Billboard 200. The latter album's lead and only single is a collaboration with Gunna titled "Turks" (featuring Travis Scott), which debuted at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and gave him his highest-charting song as a lead artist. In 2020, Nav released a reissued album titled Brown Boy 2 as the deluxe edition of Good Intentions and was then featured on the single "Lemonade" by Internet Money, Gunna, and Don Toliver, which peaked at number six on the Hot 100 and gave him his highest-charting song overall. Later that year, he released his second commercial mixtape, Emergency Tsunami. Nav released his fourth studio album, Demons Protected by Angels in 2022, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. His collaboration with Metro Boomin and Swae Lee on the single "Calling" (featuring A Boogie wit da Hoodie) was moderately successful globally the following year. In 2025, Nav released his fifth studio album, OMW2 Rexdale, which saw a significant commercial decline compared to all of his other projects with the exception of Brown Boy 2.
