Good Intentions

In the span of just a few years, Canadian rapper NAV released project after project of his atmospheric mainstream trap, taking over the charts as he went. Good Intentions is his third studio LP in about as many years, following 2019's Bad Habits by about 14 months. This newest volume continues with the same attributes NAV has presented repeatedly throughout his discography, with rhymes about drugs, sex, cars, and fame spit over midtempo trap-pop instrumentals. Good Intentions features interesting production choices and an impressive list of guest artists. Young Thug contributes to several songs, and other highlights include appearances from Travis Scott, Gunna, Lil Durk, Future, and Pop Smoke. The instrumentals for songs like "No Ice" and "Brown Boy" break NAV out of his formula considerably. ~ Fred Thomas
