NAV and Young Thug reconnect for the first time in over five years on “Trimski.” Produced by Ty Gotem, Elementry, Rel with additional production from Rodrigo Barahona and co-written by Frost the track continues a creative partnership that dates back to the Perfect Timing era, when Thug was one of the first major artists to cosign NAV. Since then they’ve linked on many records including “Boy Back,” “Spend It,” “No Debate” and most recently “Reprecussions” from NAV’s 2020 album Emergency Tsunami. Inspired by Atlanta slang and culture, “Trimski” is Nav’s take on the word “trim” and also nods to Toronto slang, which often adds -ski to the end of various phrases. It can be defined as to be exceptionally well put together, exhibiting an excessive degree of trimness, often acknowledged by peers as “overly trim.”
NAV has been one of the most successful artists of the past decade. After becoming the first official signee to XO in 2016, he’s built a catalog that now includes multiple No. 1 debuts, over 11 billion global streams, 11 million RIAA-certified units, four RIAA Gold albums, and a run of platinum and multi-platinum singles. His 2022 album Demons Protected By Angels debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop and Rap charts, marking his third No. 1 album and fifth consecutive Top 10 in the U.S., while Bad Habits and Good Intentions both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Most recently, OMW2 Rexdale marked a return to his roots and expanded his global footprint with shows across Tokyo, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangkok and Riyadh, as he builds toward his next project.
