Navy Blue - The Sword & The Soaring (2025)
The Sword & The Soaring sees Navy Blue stepping into a space of calm clarity, his voice steady and measured as if he’s finally arrived at a place of quiet confidence. The production uses warm keys, muted drums and sparse arrangements to give his lyrics room to breathe—on tracks like “God’s Kingdom” and “Orchards” he turns childhood trauma, spirituality and family grief into witness rather than spectacle. His collaboration with Earl Sweatshirt on “24 Gospel” feels less like a guest verse and more like two aligned voices in meditation. There’s a maturity here: he doesn’t chase the flashy moment, he simply shows up. For those who seek hip-hop that reflects healing, reflection and real craft, this is a deeply satisfying listen.
