Bad Habits (Deluxe)

Editors’ Notes As Michael Corleone famously says in The Godfather Part III, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” Two months after NAV posted an Instagram story about quitting music, in solidarity with his Fortnite pal and frequent collaborator Lil Uzi Vert, the rap game proved too strong for him to ignore. Back in the fold, the Toronto MC/producer's second album continues his hedonistic and nihilistic journey. “I’m Ready” and “To My Grave” signal that his heart is back in it, while “Price on My Head” (featuring executive producer The Weeknd) and “Tension” dive into the jealousy that comes with fame. “Tussin” (with Young Thug) addresses affairs of the heart, and “Why You Crying Mama” reveals the stresses that his indulgent lifestyle put on his immigrant parents (like finding stacks of cash, pills, and remnants of wild spending). Producers like Pro Logic, WondaGurl, and London On Da Track give Bad Habits a feather-light, leather-tight touch, allowing the rapper to pick up where he left off and take his corner back.
