About the artist

Your Old Droog

Your Old Droog is the enigmatic Ukrainian-American rapper who burst onto the scene in 2014, sparking speculation that he might actually be Nas in disguise. While the rumour mill went into overdrive, Droog remained tight-lipped, letting his music do the talking. Known for his intricate lyricism and old-school boom-bap production, Droog eschews trendy gimmicks in favour of straight-up storytelling. His flow is as smooth as a fresh cup of tea, effortlessly weaving tales of city life and personal introspection. Despite his mysterious persona, Droog's music speaks volumes. His debut EP, 'Your Old Droog', garnered critical acclaim for its clever wordplay and nostalgic sound. Tracks like "Nutty Bars" and "Bad to the Bone" showcase Droog's ability to paint vivid pictures with his lyrics, transporting listeners to the gritty streets of Brooklyn. With each release, Droog solidifies his status as a true rap storyteller, earning comparisons to legends like Nas and MF DOOM. His latest project, 'Jewelry', sees Droog continuing to hone his craft, with introspective tracks like "Pravda" and "Ukraine" showcasing his lyrical prowess. In a genre saturated with generic trap beats and mumble rap, Your Old Droog stands out as a true lyricist, unafraid to delve deep into his own psyche. With his signature wit and razor-sharp flow, Droog is sure to keep listeners hooked for years to come.
