YOUR OLD DROOG Vinilo y CD

Review: Prolific Brooklyn artist and exciting new school talent Your Old Droog aka Dmitry Kutsenko is a vital presence in the modern hip-hop landscape and has been involved with several well-regarded projects. This already critically acclaimed Yodney Dangerfield album on Mongoloid Banks is the latest and it comes with fresh beats by top producers Nicholas Craven, SadhuGold, Lee Scott, and Jonwayne. It is a fine body of work with the physical-only bonus track 'Metal Face Medley' which is a live performance montage that pays homage to the late great rap don MF DOOM.

Review: Brooklyn's Your Old Droog has made a name for himself with fine releases on the likes of Nature Sounds, many of which have had fans reminiscing about the fine mic work of the late great MF Doom. He uses artful imagery and unlikely couplets to paint vivid musical pictures with an inimitable East Coast twang. He has produced many of his beats himself but here he partners up with the one and only Madlib on 'The Return Of Sasquatch'. It is another killer joint with a mix of classic sounds and leftfield ideas. On the flip is a live rehearsal version of 'The Unknown Comic' which was produced by Edan.
