The mysterious rapper Your Old Droog surprised fans with his new track that features a verse from rapper MF DOOM. In an ode to successful high school dropouts everywhere, ‘Dropout Boogie’ gives that gritty feeling we’ve been missing from hip hop. Trading verses with the Supervillain himself, MF DOOM gives us the witty bars he’s known for.
Produced by Edan who effortlessly switches up the perfect New York-esque beat, the song is definitely a summer banger. Released as a limited edition 7-inch vinyl on Nature Sounds who consistently releases classics by your favorite emcees. This collaboration comes close to a year following MF DOOM’s untimely passing. The track makes us feel like the villain never left, showcasing his rap skills with Droog and artwork by KEO XMEN.
Your Old Droog rips it giving me that 90’s MC vibe with just the right ruggedness and enunciation in his voice only the greats possess. Providing hard hitting punchlines and bars that feel familiar, it’s hard to pinpoint where he’s from other than Brooklyn. With bars like these it won’t matter, but Your Old Droog which means ‘Your Old Friend’ is from Brooklyn via Ukraine.
