Winnipeg-born, Toronto-based producer Navie D. isn't yet a household name, but you may have heard his work in the past. The artist already has production credits on songs from Joey Bada$$, Big K.R.I.T. and Homeboy Sandman. Today (September 1), he's stepped out further into the spotlight with the release of his first solo project.

OPRA is a five-song collection that demonstrate the producer's penchant for hazed-out compositions. The bass is heavy, the samples are murky as hell and the compositions are brooding. Think of him as Canada's answer to Clams Casino.

Listen to OPRA below, and keep an eye out for Navie D.'s name to pop up on the credits some more of your favourite rappers' tracks.

Further, if you'd like to watch Navie D. at work, he makes a beat live on Twitch.tv three times a week. Check his channel here on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 8:30 p.m. EDT to watch him work.
