Another day, another Navy Blue record has dropped. As one of the most essential voices in all of hip-hop, I absolutely had to talk about it.
Navy knows how to name an album. Song of Sage, his 2020 opus, felt like a grand mission statement that perfectly captured what makes Navy... Navy.
Similarly, this latest album titled Navy's Reprise, feels like a reprise… like an addendum, an appendix to the main presentation that was Song of Sage.
By no means does this album not hold up on its own, but it doesn’t feel essential.
I feel this mainly through the production that feels a bit too lacking in impact, and rapping from Navy that certainly is great, and is consistently touching on similar topics of wisdom, freedom, etc… but unlike Song of Sage that felt like songs all added up to something larger than the sum of its parts, this set of tracks does not.
Navy's Reprise feels like a collection of like-minded songs that sound great, but don’t leave a lasting impression on me... like stray thoughts, loose ends, versus the complete picture that Song of Sage painted.
RMPP Preferred Cut: "Don't Get It Twisted"
