Your Old Droog

<a href="/profile/yourolddroog" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Your Old Droog</a> is well-established in hip-hop at this point thanks to his abilities when it comes to songwriting, storytelling, and most importantly, flowing. It&#8217;s been said before that the artist sounds like <a href="/profile/Nas" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Nas</a>, although Your Old Droog has certainly separated himself with his numerous releases. Back in 2019, he came out with three projects, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/your-old-droog-drops-off-surprise-jewelry-album-new-mixtape.119943.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">including Jewelry which was all about his upbringing and his heritage</a>. Now, YOD is back with a song called &#8220;Ukraine,&#8221; which as he explained in a press release, is yet another piece to his personal history.
“My last project [Jewelry] was about unapologetically claiming my heritage as a Jew, this song is about embracing my Ukrainian and Eastern European roots,&#8221; Droog said.
With this track, the artist can be heard delivering his signature flow while delivering bars about growing up in Brooklyn and what it was like as a Ukrainian immigrant who mostly spoke Russian. YOD admits that while things got tough, he learned to overcome his hardships, which ultimately allowed him to become the artist he is today.
Quotable Lyrics:
On the outside I seemed tough, Inside I was scared In a room full of people felt like the only one there Had to stop giving a fuck, really not care Live life with no fear, I&#8217;m good everywhere
