Your Old Droog: Transportation Vinyl 2LP
"Acclaimed Ukrainian-American rapper Your Old Droog recently made waves with the unexpected release of It Wasn’t Even Close, a brand new album that drew widespread attention and endless praise after dropping in April with no advance warning. Fresh off this success, your old pal is returning less than two months later with Transportation. The album features 15 tracks, all of which loosely relate to a method of transportation. 'Not everything is literal though,' says the artist, which comes as no surprise considering the man’s penchant for abstract metaphors. Transportation finds Your Old Droog returning to the unique remind-you-of-NYC-at-night soundscapes that served as the backdrop to his classic self-titled debut, which was named one of the top 10 albums of 2014 by The New York Times and one of the top 15 rap albums of 2014 by Rolling Stone. Similar to the first project, the bulk of the beats on Transportation are handled in-house by eclectic Inwood beat wizard Mono En Stereo. Droog sounds more than at home delivering the audio equivalent of comfort food, with interludes sprinkled around beats and rhymes that go together like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a cold glass of milk in the middle of the night. In Droog’s case, it might be Bulgarian buttermilk." - Mongoloid Banks
- Brooklyn rapper's surprise follow-up to 2019's It Wasn’t Even Close, featuring Wiki, Quelle Chris, Oh No, Skywlkr + more
- black double vinyl pressing
- music label: Mongoloid Banks 2019
