In this interview, Arshan flew out to LA for a long-awaited dinner at Badmaash with Nav & talked his recent trip to India and him coming back to his roots, his Punjabi not being the best, why he chose to have a short project length for his new album OMW2 Rexdale, the Playboi Carti feature on UNLIMITED, going back to the OG slow NAV sound on songs like STAY UP, if he'll do a Perfect Timing 2 with Metro Boomin, handling with real life problems that kept him away from music at one point, playing ice hockey back in Rexdale and getting in fights, being signed to the Weeknd & XO, why everyone is obsessed with him bowling, music reviewers hating on him like Anthony Fantano & how he doesn't care as long as numbers don't lie + a lot more. If you’ve been watching KTO for a while now you know that this interview with Nav is 5+ years in the making but we finally did it for y’all.
Following this grailed interview with Nav, we will be resuming our ‘KTO in London’ series with our fourth episode of six following our interview with Slawn, Clint149, & Jim Legxacy; stay tuned!
