About

Since Sage Elsesser’s Def Jam departure following 2023’s introspective <i>Ways of Knowing</i>, his Navy Blue albums have only gotten more autobiographical. First came <i>Memoirs in Armour</i>, a gripping look inside the mind of one of rap’s most ruminative over instrumentals by some of the underground’s finest. This continues on <i>The Sword & The Soaring</i>, a series of songs that addresses the past and present with a directness rarely encountered in this or any genre. .
