Your Old Droog is an MC and producer from Brooklyn, New York. He was born in 1989 of Ukrainian descent. He initially gained buzz in 2014, after dropping his self-titled debut EP, when rumors sparked up that his EP was as an alias of Queensbridge artist Nas'. Those rumors were later shut down after a Sway in the Morning interview describing the comparisons between the two. He is currently independent and released his debut album, PACKS, March 10th, 2017, earning a 81/100 on Metacritic and 7.5/10 stars with Pitchfork.
