Following on the heels of “Wanted You” Nav returns with a new single, “Freshman List,” produced by Charlie Handsome and past collaborator Rex Kudo. The track is likely from Nav´s upcoming third project. In an interview with Tim Westwood in March 2018 Nav stated that the album is mostly completed and will be substantially different from his previous releases, in part because he will handle some production.

The tracks title is both a reference to his upcoming Freshman Tour but also to the annual XXL Freshman list. On the track, Nav explains that he isn’t on 2018’s list despite having gained mainstream success and important co-signs from the likes of Rolling Stone and The Weeknd. After dropping the track, Nav unleashed some stinging criticism of the list,calling out XXL on Twitter and Instagram, explaining that he did not want to play any of his new music or pander to the magazine.

Following the release of the song, some of Nav’s contemporaries, like Quavo tweeted out their support.
