Brown Boy

Brown Boy is an unofficial EP by NAV that was released by NAV’s manager, Cash XO, on Audiomack on March 14th, 2019. It is compiled of older songs that NAV had recorded. The title is a reference to the fact that, despite being born in Toronto, he is of Punjabi descent.

The entire track list of NAV’s Brown Boy EP was eventually included on the deluxe version of Bad Habits.

NAV had recently announced that he was retiring from music after fellow artist and close friend Lil Uzi Vert also retired. When Cash released this EP, he said:

I’m tired of hunting for @nav hard drive and waiting for him to come out of retirement! So here’s some songs I had on my phone that aren’t on his album 🤷🏽‍♂️ enjoy!

Uzi also commented on this in an Instagram post, saying:

So I haven’t been talking but listen Bro @cashxo loves you and I love you man I understand I got stuff going on and this Ep is fire Please come out of retirement @nav AND DROP YOUR ALBUM its gonna be lit .
I’m gettin my self together … Oh Yea Get Online 🎮🤓

NAV then responded to both of them in another instagram post, saying:
