\n\tNavy Blue, born Sage Elsesser, released a surprise album earlier this month. <\/p>\n

\n\tMemoirs In Armour<\/em> comes on the heels of the professional model and skateboarder-turned-rapper being unceremoniously dropped from Def Jam, where he had released the project Ways of Knowing<\/em> in 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tFans were surprised to see that an underground darling such as himself would even sign to a major label, but Navy told Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> recently that he was \u201cgrateful\u201d for the experience. \u201cAnd I think naturally as a human, you look back on situations and you go, \u2018I wish things could be different,\u2019 but I think that the universe or God or whatever people want to call it \u2014 I choose to call it God \u2014 it just had a different plan for me and there was just something to learn from this experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe also told the publication his situation at the label inspired him to make and release this tape, telling them, \u201cMemoirs in Armour<\/em>\u00a0is in response to the fact that I got dropped from Def Jam kind of in a way that had me frustrated, to say the least.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTake Heed\u201d is the intro track and was produced by Budgie, who also handled the bulk of production on Navy\u2019s only Def Jam release. The video, directed by Ryosuke Tanzawa, features Navy opening the curtains as he lets the light in and starts to reflect as he raps, \u201cAnother baby born, another stolen life\/ To claim the day as yours, to see through open\u2005eyes\/ He\u2005say he know\u2005the truth, I know who told\u2005him lies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA couple of weeks ago, Navy released the lead single \u201cLow Threshold\u201d produced by Child Actor, with the video also being directed by Tanzawa. You can check that out below.<\/p>\n
