css navigation bar positioning

I'm trying to make a navigation bar for a hobby website to display my photography and other interest's of mine, I'm having slight issues with the position of a drop-down bar I have.

how the menu shows up when I hover over the music item

I wanted to know how I would be able to position the drop down menu so when I hover over the music item it would show directly under it. I tried position: relevant, it did work but it shifted all the items to the left of it down to align with the drop down menu.

body{
        background-color: #333;
}
 
nav ul {
          list-style: none;
          margin: 10px;
          padding: 0;
          font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
          font-weight: bold;

          display: inline-block;

You need to add position: relevant to the parent list items, then add positioning top and left on the sub menu.

nav li {
    position: relative;
}
.Inav ul li ul{
    position: absolute;
    top: 100%;   /* modify as necessary */
    left: 0px;   /* modify as necessary */
}
