Your Old Droog stopped by NYC’s Hot 97 for his first interview with Peter Rosenberg. Droog spoke about his ethnic origins, raising his status this year, traveling to Europe and more. At a little over ten minutes in, Rosenberg put him to the test and Droog stepped up with nearly three minutes of bars. When Rosenberg flipped the beat to DJ Premier’s classic remix of Fat Joe’s “The Shit is Real,” Droog got amped with appreciation and went that much harder. Check out the video.
