Your Old Droog has the gift of gab, whereby the Brooklyn, New York MC thrives without track structure. Linking up with close affiliate DJ Skizz, Droog takes a simple-but-highly-effective loop on “Hidden Persuaders,” and gets busy talking about his rhyme skills, T-Ray (Lord Finesse, Cypress Hill, MC Serch) and Alchemist (Nas, Lil Wayne, Jadakiss) reaching out, and why dummies compare the raspy-voiced lyricist to Eminem.

“I never bought a beat in my life, or leased one.”

Should Droog’s producers (El RTNC, Skizz, Marco Polo) be getting more shine in their own right? According to NahRight, Droog is headlining his own march through Europe this summer.
