Your Old Droog – Movie (LP/CD) [Nature Sounds NSD245]

The highly-anticipated Movie is the first full-length album Your Old Droog has released since 2021. When Your Old Droog first entered the Hip-Hop scene a decade ago, he was cloaked in anonymity. The Ukraine-born, Brooklyn bred rap phenomenon was known solely for his sharp, punchy lyrics wrapped in a gruff delivery. He finally came into the light with his eponymous debut release, the catalyst for what has become a prolific career. Since then, Droog has crystallized his place in hip-hop as the erudite rapper who can tackle any beat with precision; a product of the underground, yet designed for the mainstream.

With his new project Movie, YOD is in a new era, where his days of being the dark horse in rap are over. He has countless co-signs from some of the greatest to ever touch a mic, and now he’s finally geared to join them. A layered masterpiece, the album features appearances by Method Man, and Denzel Curry, plus production by industry stalwarts like Just Blaze, Harry Fraud, Conductor Williams, and the legendary Madlib.

Droog recently performed the buzzing Movie single “Mercury Thermometers” on popular Sirius XM station Shade 45. He is one of hip-hop’s most accomplished young stars. He has also collaborated with MF DOOM, Westside Gunn, Black Thought, Matisyahu, El-P, Mach-Hommy, Roc Marciano, Aesop Rock, Mac Miller, Mick Jenkins, Joey Bada$$, Danny Brown, billy woods, and more.
